9. JRJoe Rogan

13. JRJoe Rogan
  God, I, I'd seen YouTube videos about them.
14. ABAction Bronson
  (grunts)
15. JRJoe Rogan
  What an interesting story. Dude's living in Cairo, is a banker. (laughs)
16. ABAction Bronson
  That's right. It, it always starts off like that. I, I, I told you, there's like architect this, that, they always have these dreams of culinary-
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
18. ABAction Bronson
  ... I don't know, dest- I don't know what the fuck to even call it, but...
19. JRJoe Rogan
  A-
20. ABAction Bronson
  It's like when, like me, I wanna be an actor or I wanna play ball or I wanna be a fighter. I wanna do what I do. We all have these dreams, even though... Stay in the fucking lane, don't be the, stay there. Stop being f- stop being an idiot.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, that is a thing, right? People always wanna do a thing that they're not doing.
22. ABAction Bronson
  I like hard labor.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Really?
24. ABAction Bronson
  I t- I do, 'cause I do a lot of, like, fun, everyone thinks that j- my job is fun, and it is, there's no doubt. That's why I like to get in a kitchen-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Want some coffee?
26. ABAction Bronson
  No, I'm good. I got this espresso.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Okay.
28. ABAction Bronson
  I'm fucking Lucied out.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
30. ABAction Bronson
  It's like I'm, I'm doing things I've never done before.
15:00 – 30:00
Ugh. …
1. JRJoe Rogan
  man. I mean, just such an awesome kickboxer. And just do or die. He either got knocked out or he knocked you out.
2. ABAction Bronson
  Ugh.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  And the ... That style-
4. ABAction Bronson
  Look at him.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  ... is just so fan-friendly.
6. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Bro's chasing people down.
8. ABAction Bronson
  That's incredible.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  He was so dangerous. So dangerous. But, you know, got KO'd too, because l- his fights were so reckless.
10. ABAction Bronson
  Yeah, look at him.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Not reckless. Skillful, skillful, but like-
12. ABAction Bronson
  But he lives within.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  ... super aggressive. Right.
14. ABAction Bronson
  He lives within the zone.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. He's in the ... He's in that danger zone, and he drags everybody into that. And you might get them. Joe Schilling got him. Robbie Lawler got him. Robbie Lawler got him in a crazy fight, where Robbie Lawler was getting the shit kicked out of his legs, and he just uncorked a hammer, just one punch, just one wild right hand just clipped Melvin and the lights go out.
16. ABAction Bronson
  Robbie Lawler's the next level, man.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Woo. Robbie Lawler.
18. ABAction Bronson
  He's such a gentle d- like when you meet him also, he's very sweet. He's just like, "Yo, how are you, man? How's everything?"
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Did you, did you hear what happened during the, uh, Free Palestine, um, marches in New York City? Did you hear what happened? So there was a bus and, uh, the bus was filled with UFC fighters. And there was the Free Palestine thing that was going on.
20. ABAction Bronson
  What, they stopped the street?
21. JRJoe Rogan
  And apparently the bus was trying to make it through before they closed everything off, and the bus didn't.
22. ABAction Bronson
  Hmm.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  So then they got in front of the bus and then they started slashing the tires and-
24. ABAction Bronson
  Oh, shit.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  ... the bus was filled with Robbie Lawler-
26. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
27. JRJoe Rogan
  ... and a bunch of other killers.
28. ABAction Bronson
  Oh my God.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  And everybody's like, "Should we go out with the bus?" And Rob- Robbie goes, "Everybody conserve your energy because we're probably gonna need it."
30. ABAction Bronson
  Just calm ...
30:00 – 45:00
N- For me, I,…
1. JRJoe Rogan
  all of the time, that can't be good. You know?
2. ABAction Bronson
  N- For me, I, uh, I like to protect this bod of mine.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
4. ABAction Bronson
  I just wanna, you know, I wanna make it more healthy.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  I have friends-
6. ABAction Bronson
  That's all I really wanna do.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  I have friends that spar, and they really like sparring. And I'm like, "You're, you're a professional. You have a profession."
8. ABAction Bronson
  Like just regular dudes-
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
10. ABAction Bronson
  ... that like some Fight Club?
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
12. ABAction Bronson
  You just wanna get a little adrenaline?
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. But they're sparring, and they're 46.
14. ABAction Bronson
  Hmm.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  They're getting punched in the face. (laughs) Like, what are you doing?
16. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Don't do that. So, you gotta forget where your keys are.
18. ABAction Bronson
  Bro, sometimes it takes a while to get those chops.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  It'll take a long time if you start if you're 46.
20. ABAction Bronson
  I'm just saying, it takes a minute.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Y- you have to be a weird athlete to be, get, to get really good at striking at 46. If you've never done anything and then y- y- you step in and now you're, you're sparring guys and you're good at 46, you'd have to be like, a weird athlete. You'd have to be like, some dude who could do any... Gymnastics, basketball, baseball. He, he could do anything. He just knows how to move his body.
22. ABAction Bronson
  I feel like that could be me. (laughs)
23. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
24. ABAction Bronson
  I like training, man. I enjoy... Like I said-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, I know you do.
26. ABAction Bronson
  ... I wanna grapple somebody.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, you were saying that.
28. ABAction Bronson
  I would do a celebrity grappling, even though it's like... Celeb- fuck a celeb, just a grappling.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  As long as there's no heel hooks.
30. ABAction Bronson
  No heel hooks. Grappling...
45:00 – 1:00:00
(laughs) …
1. JRJoe Rogan
2. NANarrator
  (laughs)
3. ABAction Bronson
  Like, what the fuck is that?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Scientist dudes.
5. NANarrator
  Where did this come from now?
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Scientists dudes.
7. ABAction Bronson
  Motherfucker.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  And gals, and non-binary folk.
9. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Uh, what is, uh, what is the actual definition of yin yang, Jamie? Like, what does it e- exactly mean? It's ... I know it's to be balance, like in, I knew, like, back when I was in high school, all the cool kids got yin yang tattoos.
11. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
12. NANarrator
  I want one now. Now, I want one. (laughs)
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Now, I'm thinking about getting one.
14. ABAction Bronson
  Right?
15. JRJoe Rogan
  'Cause of the quantum thing, but it's so ... It's such a ... It became a corny thing. Like, a yin yang became corny.
16. ABAction Bronson
  Yeah. When I was young, it was like tribal.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
18. ABAction Bronson
  Like I s- Now, I want tribal or barbwire around the bicep.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. (laughs)
20. NANarrator
  (laughs)
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Like old days.
22. ABAction Bronson
  Like Pam Anderson.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Like Pam Anderson.
24. NANarrator
  Pam Anderson?
25. JRJoe Rogan
  A lot of wrestlers had it. Okay, so what does this mean?
26. ABAction Bronson
  Buff Bagwell.
27. NANarrator
  There's no ... Uh, it's uh, meanings are popping up. There's not ... I don't know about specific definition, 'cause you gotta define the yin and yang.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, just Google that right there, people also ask. Go back, and then what is the meaning of yin yang? Click on that. What does that say?
29. NANarrator
  I know. It popped up a video.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, it's a video.
1:00:00 – 1:09:34
Right. …
1. ABAction Bronson
  some Mexican dudes-
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
3. ABAction Bronson
  ... that will not speak English to you.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
5. ABAction Bronson
  That's how you learn.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
7. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
8. JRJoe Rogan
  You gotta pick it up.
9. ABAction Bronson
  That's how I learned.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Pick it up eventually. That is th- what they say, immersion, right? That's the best way to really learn-
11. ABAction Bronson
  Immersion.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  ... a language.
13. ABAction Bronson
  I mean, also, like, if you learn, like, phrases, like phrases as far as, like, I don't know. I don't even know how to... Like, j- I can't even give you an example. Like, things about the day or what you're-
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
15. ABAction Bronson
  ... about to do or shit like that, just f- normal phrases that you would use-
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
17. ABAction Bronson
  ... in everyday life. If you just use those, more than likely they're gonna catch one way or another.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
19. ABAction Bronson
  You, you could use them in different settings. (laughs)
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
21. ABAction Bronson
  You just, you just gotta know a couple things, and then you build off that.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Imagine if... How funny that must sound to them.
23. ABAction Bronson
  (laughs)
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Our stupid Spanish. (laughs) You know? It's like, uh, like Borat sounds to us.
25. ABAction Bronson
  Yeah, no, I mean, o- the one thing that I do... I, I love when immigrants come here and they try to speak English, 'cause-
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Hmm.
27. ABAction Bronson
  ... a lot of Americans, they don't fucking try and speak any other languages.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
29. ABAction Bronson
  But everybody comes here and learns English one way or another. They're speaking broken, but you understand it.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
