   2. NANarrator0:04

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) My man.

   4. ABAction Bronson0:13

      Damn.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      What a day.

   6. ABAction Bronson0:15

      I mean, it's a joy to spend time with you.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      (laughs)

   8. ABAction Bronson0:17

      It's fucking beautiful.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      We had a good time today. We had a good time today. Got a nice workout in. Went to some Egyptian barbecue.

   10. ABAction Bronson0:24

       Oof.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       KG, it's KG barbecue?

   12. ABAction Bronson0:26

       KG barbecue, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       God, I, I'd seen YouTube videos about them.

   14. ABAction Bronson0:30

       (grunts)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       What an interesting story. Dude's living in Cairo, is a banker. (laughs)

   16. ABAction Bronson0:36

       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 Rogan0:45

       Mm-hmm.

   18. ABAction Bronson0:45

       ... I don't know, dest- I don't know what the fuck to even call it, but...

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       A-

   20. ABAction Bronson0:49

       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 Rogan1:03

       Well, that is a thing, right? People always wanna do a thing that they're not doing.

   22. ABAction Bronson1:08

       I like hard labor.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Really?

   24. ABAction Bronson1:10

       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 Rogan1:18

       Want some coffee?

   26. ABAction Bronson1:18

       No, I'm good. I got this espresso.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:20

       Okay.

   28. ABAction Bronson1:20

       I'm fucking Lucied out.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:23

       (laughs)

   30. ABAction Bronson1:23

       It's like I'm, I'm doing things I've never done before.
2. 3:59 – 6:04

   Getting fit again: kettlebells, mobility, core work, and yoga vs. “animal shit”

   1. ABAction Bronson3:59

      I need to take care of myself, Joe. I'm, I'm not-

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:01

      Well, you have in the past.

   3. ABAction Bronson4:02

      ... you can tell I haven't-

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:03

      You've have in the past. You know, you made a big jump when, uh, you know, you had one of your babies, one of-

   5. ABAction Bronson4:09

      Yep.

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:10

      ... y- your kids, you just decided, "I am going to get fit now," and you lost a ton of weight. You lost a ton of weight. You, you got, you got real healthy, you started working out all the time. And you and I worked out together at the Onnit Gym and I was like, "Dude puts in work." That was real. That was, like, a real workout.

   7. ABAction Bronson4:26

      Oh, yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan4:26

      You weren't, you know, you would obviously been working out a lot 'cause, uh, John Wolfe for-

   9. ABAction Bronson4:32

      Love him.

   10. JRJoe Rogan4:32

       ... who's the master.

   11. ABAction Bronson4:33

       Love him.

   12. JRJoe Rogan4:33

       The master, like, one of the best trainers on Earth. He s- put us through this workout. That's a fucking serious workout, man. Serious kettlebell shit, mobility shit, all these different body weight things. I think we did bear crawls. We did a lot of shit.

   13. ABAction Bronson4:48

       So I was drenched-

   14. JRJoe Rogan4:49

       Right.

   15. ABAction Bronson4:49

       ... drenched during the fucking stretch.

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:52

       (laughs)

   17. ABAction Bronson4:52

       Just doing the warmup stretch, I was-

   18. JRJoe Rogan4:54

       Yeah.

   19. ABAction Bronson4:54

       ... fucking e- it was harder than anything for me. Sometimes, the stretching and putting yourself in those, like, that's-

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:00

       Well, John-

   21. ABAction Bronson5:01

       ... crazy for me.

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:01

       ... targets unique area, like, he's big on hip strength and hip flexibility. So he has you doing all these hip exercises with your legs up in the air in circles and all this stuff, and you're like, "Whoa, I never do anything like this. Like, this is hard to do."

   23. ABAction Bronson5:15

       I haven't done it since him.

   24. JRJoe Rogan5:16

       (laughs)

   25. ABAction Bronson5:16

       I haven't had- I need to get back on that, 'cause those are the types of things that-

   26. JRJoe Rogan5:20

       Yeah.

   27. ABAction Bronson5:20

       ... I wanna work with a core specialist like him.

   28. JRJoe Rogan5:22

       Mm-hmm.

   29. ABAction Bronson5:23

       I need the core work.

   30. JRJoe Rogan5:24

       Right.
3. 6:04 – 9:22

   Bulletproofing the body: clubs, shoulder stability, knees-over-toes, and tib raises

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:04

      I see when you're, like, swinging that mace.

   2. ABAction Bronson6:05

      Oh man, I feel like such-

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:07

      You love that mace.

   4. ABAction Bronson6:07

      ... a fucking barbarian.

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:08

      (laughs)

   6. ABAction Bronson6:09

      It's a 60-pound hammer, for fuck's sakes-

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:11

      Yeah.

   8. ABAction Bronson6:12

      ... wrapped in leather.

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:13

      Yeah.

   10. ABAction Bronson6:13

       That feels-

   11. JRJoe Rogan6:14

       Yeah.

   12. ABAction Bronson6:14

       ... fucking sick to manhandle that.

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:16

       Yeah, it's ha- those are so hard to move around, like, uh, we were talking today about those clubs, that the club I use is only 20 pounds, which just doesn't seem like a lot of weight. But when you're... got it out in front of you-

   14. ABAction Bronson6:27

       Mm-hmm.

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:27

       ... and doing these things, it's fucking hard to do, man.

   16. ABAction Bronson6:30

       Stabilizing 20 pounds is still stabilizing 20 pounds.

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:33

       Yes.

   18. ABAction Bronson6:33

       And you need those, those front da- that move that you were doing?

   19. JRJoe Rogan6:37

       Mm-hmm.

   20. ABAction Bronson6:37

       That just, that, that's bulletproofing all those little muscles around fr- uh, your shoulder area and your lat and everything. Just making you feel-

   21. JRJoe Rogan6:46

       Yeah, and I was telling you too, it's really good for archery.

   22. ABAction Bronson6:48

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan6:48

       You know? Because, like, a lot of it is extending your arm straight out. You know, when you're doing a shield cast, you're going around your head.

   24. ABAction Bronson6:55

       Yep.

   25. JRJoe Rogan6:55

       And you're extending your arm out. It's like, ph- it's such a weird way to move your muscles, that when you're doing it, you're like, "Whoa. Why, why don't I do this more often?" Like, "Why am I bad at this?" How am I, how am I so good at this, so good at, like, lifting things up over my head, but anything gets sideways and around, I'm all squirrelly with 20 pounds?

   26. ABAction Bronson7:12

       It's fucking worth feeling.

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:13

       That seems stupid.

   28. ABAction Bronson7:14

       Like, when I do those little things with the-

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:16

       Oh, yeah.

   30. ABAction Bronson7:16

       It's humbling.
4. 9:22 – 17:11

   Fight fan deep dive: Mark Hunt, K-1 legends, and terrifying punchers

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:22

      Yeah, Mark Hunt, who used to fight in the UFC?

   2. ABAction Bronson9:24

      Mm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan9:24

      He has calves like shoulders, like two shoulders, like your whole body. (laughs) That's so big.

   4. ABAction Bronson9:29

      (laughs) That's a different, uh, species of human being...

   5. JRJoe Rogan9:32

      Yeah.

   6. ABAction Bronson9:32

      ... those Samoas.

   7. JRJoe Rogan9:33

      Oh my God, Mark Hunt, he was one of the baddest motherfuckers to ever do it. You ever watch him in K-1, back in the kickboxing?

   8. ABAction Bronson9:40

      Of course, yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan9:41

      That dude won the K-1 Grand Prix.

   10. ABAction Bronson9:43

       Pretty nuts.

   11. JRJoe Rogan9:43

       Like, that is an accomplishment over everything else in standup combat sports.

   12. ABAction Bronson9:49

       Not m- (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan9:49

       You know, other than, like, MMA championships.

   14. ABAction Bronson9:51

       Mm-hmm.

   15. JRJoe Rogan9:52

       K-1 Grand Prix was, like, Alistair Overeem won that.

   16. NANarrator9:55

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan9:55

       And you think about the guys that were fighting back then, like Peter Aerts, Ernesto Hoost, Mr. Perfect.

   18. ABAction Bronson10:01

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:01

       Like, damn. And Mark Hunt won that. Like, that's how good Mark Hunt was. Mark Hunt just beat some undefeated boxer in Australia.

   20. ABAction Bronson10:10

       He won that? He beat, he won the match?

   21. JRJoe Rogan10:11

       He knocked the dude out.

   22. ABAction Bronson10:12

       Of course.

   23. JRJoe Rogan10:12

       It was a fight where he was like... It was Mark Hunt has this big name. This guy's this undefeated, up-and-coming boxer.

   24. ABAction Bronson10:19

       Mm.

   25. JRJoe Rogan10:19

       And he's really young, and Mark Hunt's, like, 40-something.

   26. ABAction Bronson10:21

       He's 50.

   27. JRJoe Rogan10:22

       Bro, you gotta see this fight. It's crazy.

   28. ABAction Bronson10:25

       Damn.

   29. JRJoe Rogan10:25

       This is how good Mark Hunt is.

   30. ABAction Bronson10:26

       And that was recent.
5. 17:11 – 31:02

   Knockouts, brain damage, and when referees get it wrong

   1. ABAction Bronson17:11

      Why do you breathe like that when you're knocked out?

   2. JRJoe Rogan17:14

      When you're almost dead.

   3. ABAction Bronson17:15

      Okay.

   4. JRJoe Rogan17:16

      You know, you're almost dead.

   5. ABAction Bronson17:16

      Makes sense. (laughs) Makes sense.

   6. JRJoe Rogan17:18

      Yeah, you, you're getting knocked unconscious, like, someone can then kill you. Like y- y- you know, it's like they've already put you away, now you're at their mercy. And if someone's just at your mercy.

   7. ABAction Bronson17:29

      But you've seen them doing this before-

   8. JRJoe Rogan17:30

      Yeah.

   9. ABAction Bronson17:30

      ... and twitching, but ...

   10. JRJoe Rogan17:31

       Mm-hmm.

   11. ABAction Bronson17:32

       Like those deep crazy breaths with the eyes open-

   12. JRJoe Rogan17:35

       It's f-

   13. ABAction Bronson17:35

       ... is fucking scary.

   14. JRJoe Rogan17:36

       Scary. Those-

   15. ABAction Bronson17:37

       That shit's scary.

   16. JRJoe Rogan17:37

       ... those kind of knockouts are fucking terrifying. And how many of them can your body endure, and at what age? Th- these are the real questions. Like, maybe you can bounce back from one when you're 18, but when you're 35, you can't, you know? It's, it's ... There's just scary.

   17. ABAction Bronson17:53

       Dudes who take beatings for five rounds, they must get micro, whatever that, this means. Micro concussions.

   18. JRJoe Rogan18:00

       There's no micro about it, man.

   19. ABAction Bronson18:01

       That's what I'm saying. They're getting concussed-

   20. JRJoe Rogan18:02

       Yeah.

   21. ABAction Bronson18:02

       ... every fucking time.

   22. JRJoe Rogan18:04

       (smacks lips) Most likely if they get rocked-

   23. ABAction Bronson18:06

       But how do you recover like that?

   24. JRJoe Rogan18:06

       ... if they get dropped ... Well, they're, first of all, they're, they're in an insane shape. Like, every guy who gets to a five-round championship level. Like, did you watch that, um, Sean Strickland-Paolo Costa fight?

   25. ABAction Bronson18:18

       I sure did.

   26. JRJoe Rogan18:19

       Bro, you gotta be in bonkers shape to put that pace on a person for three rounds.

   27. ABAction Bronson18:23

       It's unbelievable.

   28. JRJoe Rogan18:24

       Just s- ... Strickland just stays on you, just stays on you, and Paulo-

   29. ABAction Bronson18:27

       He stays in the gym, that's why.

   30. JRJoe Rogan18:29

       Yeah.
6. 31:02 – 36:14

   Grappling urges, fight fouls, and training tools: bites, mouthguards, breath restriction

   1. ABAction Bronson31:02

      ... I wanna grapple somebody.

   2. JRJoe Rogan31:03

      Yeah, you were saying that.

   3. ABAction Bronson31:04

      I would do a celebrity grappling, even though it's like... Celeb- fuck a celeb, just a grappling.

   4. JRJoe Rogan31:08

      As long as there's no heel hooks.

   5. ABAction Bronson31:09

      No heel hooks. Grappling...

   6. JRJoe Rogan31:11

      (laughs)

   7. ABAction Bronson31:11

      This is not jujitsu. This is grappling.

   8. JRJoe Rogan31:14

      (coughs)

   9. ABAction Bronson31:14

      I wanna do collegiate style and mixed with Roman-Greco.

   10. JRJoe Rogan31:18

       Do you really?

   11. ABAction Bronson31:19

       I don't know. Yeah, I do. I wanna fucking throw somebody around-

   12. JRJoe Rogan31:21

       (laughs)

   13. ABAction Bronson31:21

       ... for sure. I wanna fucking submit somebody very badly.

   14. JRJoe Rogan31:25

       (coughs)

   15. ABAction Bronson31:25

       Every day I practice submitting a, a fucking sandbag.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:29

       Do you?

   17. ABAction Bronson31:30

       Yeah, every day.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:31

       Did you ever take jujitsu classes?

   19. ABAction Bronson31:33

       I did a couple of times, but I, I've been offered to go where my son goes, but I don't know, man. It's a-

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:38

       Get in there.

   21. ABAction Bronson31:39

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:40

       Get in there.

   23. ABAction Bronson31:41

       I need, I only wanna learn top pressure.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:44

       That's it? (laughs)

   25. ABAction Bronson31:44

       I'm never gonna be on the fucking bottom, dog. Fuck that. Only top.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:50

       (laughs)

   27. ABAction Bronson31:50

       Aggressive top.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:52

       (laughs) But what are you gonna do to get up?

   29. ABAction Bronson31:54

       I don't know.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:54

       You gotta learn how to get off the bottom at least.
7. 36:14 – 46:21

   Terrence Howard aftermath: wild theories, “quantum yin-yang,” and science skepticism

   1. ABAction Bronson36:14

      I, I mean, all... You use all these different fucking, these different things that people f- invent, I think. By the way, I feel like an asshole sometimes when I come on here. Terrence Howard.

   2. JRJoe Rogan36:26

      (laughs)

   3. ABAction Bronson36:26

      Yeah. No, I don't even know what to say. I was, like, Googling shit to talk about after that.

   4. JRJoe Rogan36:31

      Right.

   5. ABAction Bronson36:31

      What the fuck?

   6. JRJoe Rogan36:33

      There's-

   7. ABAction Bronson36:33

      What in the actual fuck?

   8. JRJoe Rogan36:35

      First of all-

   9. ABAction Bronson36:35

      I, I understand it though.

   10. JRJoe Rogan36:37

       I kind of understand it.

   11. ABAction Bronson36:39

       I understand it. I understand.

   12. JRJoe Rogan36:40

       Kind... I mean, it made sense.

   13. ABAction Bronson36:42

       Tamizh may-

   14. JRJoe Rogan36:44

       He's making sense.

   15. ABAction Bronson36:44

       He's making me believe.

   16. JRJoe Rogan36:46

       He's way too smart to just be making everything up. Like, this, there's no way he's just ma- he's a lunatic. Like, I've, I've heard people say-

   17. ABAction Bronson36:54

       You can't just lie. You can't just come up on that.

   18. JRJoe Rogan36:56

       ... he's a lunatic.

   19. ABAction Bronson36:56

       You can't just-

   20. JRJoe Rogan36:56

       He's making things... I'm like, I, I don't think that's correct. He knows too much.

   21. ABAction Bronson37:00

       No.

   22. JRJoe Rogan37:00

       So is he correct? I don't know. And then that's, so that's what has, what has to happen is Terrence Howard has to sit down with someone who's, uh, an academic. Someone who's got a PhD in whatever discipline they're talking about. And they can have a discussion and you can see what he really knows and just what he can say to me. Right? It, to me, it all makes sense, but I'm a moron.

   23. ABAction Bronson37:22

       No, you're not, but if you're talking to a mathematician-

   24. JRJoe Rogan37:24

       But now also-

   25. ABAction Bronson37:24

       ... or if you're talking to a physicist, someone who actually can understand what these computations mean and what he's trying to say about one plus one or one multiplied by one can't be one. Like, no mathematics.

   26. JRJoe Rogan37:35

       Yeah.

   27. ABAction Bronson37:35

       Everything is bullshit. I believe that.

   28. JRJoe Rogan37:38

       Hm.

   29. ABAction Bronson37:38

       I wasn't (laughs) I wasn't good in algebra-... I'm be- I see, I see it more in a linear way. Not a linear way, a different way than him, like, more similarly to him.

   30. JRJoe Rogan37:49

       Right. Well, I would imagine that there's probably more to all, all these things.
8. 46:21 – 51:21

   China, offshoring, and the long-term cost of cheap labor

   1. JRJoe Rogan46:21

      This is one of the things that freaks me out about the current state of the world, is that we are at odds with China. And China has been-

   2. ABAction Bronson46:29

      Why?

   3. JRJoe Rogan46:29

      ... around forever. They are so much more established. They've been around for 4,000 years, man. They figured it out-

   4. ABAction Bronson46:37

      So many dynasties and ...

   5. NANarrator46:39

      (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan46:39

      They've been thriving economically for 4,000 years. They invented everything. China invented paper. They invented alcohol. They invented the mechanical clock. They invented gunpowder. They invented rockets.

   7. ABAction Bronson46:55

      I mean, bro, when I fucking order my clothes to sell, I get it from there. They do it much fucking better and cheaper than here.

   8. JRJoe Rogan47:05

      You can buy good American stuff.

   9. ABAction Bronson47:06

      No, but it's not the same.

   10. JRJoe Rogan47:08

       Well, was-

   11. ABAction Bronson47:08

       When you outo- All right, listen.

   12. JRJoe Rogan47:10

       (laughs)

   13. ABAction Bronson47:10

       I like America. But if you want to get it done right, you go to China. (laughs)

   14. NANarrator47:15

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan47:15

       That's so ridiculous.

   16. ABAction Bronson47:16

       Yeah, I know. It's crazy.

   17. JRJoe Rogan47:17

       That's so ridiculous.

   18. ABAction Bronson47:18

       That is a crazy thing to say.

   19. NANarrator47:19

       (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan47:19

       But it is fucked up that somewhere, we lost our way, and we decided that it would be better for some people over here to get things paid for in a cheap manner. Get cheap labor from a country where they let people work for like almost nothing, and buy your shit from them, and then sell it over here. But it's just short math, because like everybody's like, "Hey, hey, hey, do you know what the fuck the trickle down of that is? How about it ... We just make less money or we don't look at it in terms of like you're never gonna end, it's never gonna stop growing?" How about we just like maintain what we've got and make high-quality stuff and keep all these jobs here? Like what, what's the economic downside of getting rid of thousands of jobs every time they close a plant? Thousands of jobs. Just to make a little bit more money? Or even if it's a lot more money. Like aren't you making money? Isn't it so successful that you can buy a new plant in Mexico? Like what the fuck are we doing?

   21. ABAction Bronson48:17

       People are fucking freaking out.

   22. JRJoe Rogan48:17

       It's so short-sighted.

   23. ABAction Bronson48:18

       Yeah. It's all, it's all money, money, money, money, money, money, money.

   24. JRJoe Rogan48:20

       You ever see Roger & Me?

   25. ABAction Bronson48:22

       Mm-mm.

   26. JRJoe Rogan48:23

       It's, uh, Michael Moore's best documentary, I think. And it's, uh, the first one too.

   27. ABAction Bronson48:28

       I like Michael Moore a lot.

   28. JRJoe Rogan48:29

       Uh, he was young. He's a good dude. I met him a couple times.

   29. ABAction Bronson48:32

       I met him one time coming out of the fucking 23rd-

   30. JRJoe Rogan48:34

       (clears throat)
9. 51:21 – 1:08:06

   Made-in-USA vs. global charity side effects—and Bronson’s jersey identity

   1. JRJoe Rogan51:21

      Yeah. (sniffs) I work with Origin. Origin is a company in Maine. It's all American-made, everything, threads, everything, cloth, everything. All our hunting gear is made by Origin. All of it's made. They, they, they develop the pattern. They make it all. It's all, everybody gets paid well. Great jobs. It's just like, it just feels better. I always said that about, like, iPhones. Like, make me an iPhone that you make in America. Just charge me more money. Can you do, just put a little US flag in the corner, so I know-

   2. ABAction Bronson51:52

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan51:52

      ... I'm getting that one? And just charge me more money. Just charge me more money.

   4. ABAction Bronson51:56

      It's like when, when you buy a pair of New Balance sneakers, the made-in-America ones are always-

   5. JRJoe Rogan52:00

      Yes.

   6. ABAction Bronson52:01

      ... the better-quality stuff, you know? You know you're getting quality when it says, "Made in the U.S. of A."

   7. JRJoe Rogan52:06

      Oh, but also, you know you're getting it from people that you have to adhere to laws, like labor laws. You, you don't have to adhere to those if you're buying them from third-world countries.

   8. ABAction Bronson52:17

      Of course.

   9. JRJoe Rogan52:18

      So, you're, that's, it's kinda weird that that's okay. And I know, I, I understand the economics of it. I don't really, but I understand that I don't understand it. I understand I'm not, it's not my place. But I get why everybody did it, but you gotta look at what's, what that, what the cost of that is. It's so insane. You know, someone was explaining to me that there's some African countries that get free clothes from the United States. So, like, they'll donate, like, free clothes. Like, a bunch of companies, and they get together, and they're donating free clothes. Which seems great, right? But a lot of these developing countries have people making clothes. And then all of a sudden, a bunch of free clothes get dropped off, and they're like, "Hey, what the fuck?" Like, "We're, we're, now, I'm not gonna sell any fucking clothes." Now you literally can't get by making clothes because they're giving away free clothes. And giving away free ch- free, free clothes is, like, a part of their whole charitable organization. Like, to make everybody feel great.

   10. ABAction Bronson53:20

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan53:20

       But-

   12. ABAction Bronson53:20

       They don't need to be doing that.

   13. JRJoe Rogan53:21

       But you could, in fact, create a-

   14. ABAction Bronson53:23

       Give them money.

   15. JRJoe Rogan53:24

       ... growing economy by giving people free clothes. I was like-

   16. ABAction Bronson53:26

       Give them food.

   17. JRJoe Rogan53:27

       I would've never thought that. I would've never thought that giving someone free clothes could ever be bad. But it could be bad if they're actually starting to develop an economy, or they have a thriving economy, and somebody makes clothes there. And all of a sudden, you know, we think if we should give them free clothes, that's gonna (laughs) fix everything and make us feel better.

   18. ABAction Bronson53:45

       I'll tell you this. In every fucking third-world country I've been to, they got fucking Lionel Messi jerseys. They got Vini Jr. Jerseys. They got all, they got all kinds of sports jerseys. They're not wearing any, they're wearing fucking jerseys.

   19. JRJoe Rogan53:59

       And they're getting-

   20. ABAction Bronson54:00

       All kinds of sports clothing, Puma.

   21. JRJoe Rogan54:01

       Interesting. That's, that's the cool shit to wear?

   22. ABAction Bronson54:04

       Always, always. Young kids always got the fucking soccer jerseys on, or just, like, a team shirt. I see Yankee shirts.

   23. JRJoe Rogan54:11

       That's always been the case though, right?

   24. ABAction Bronson54:12

       Always. Come on.

   25. JRJoe Rogan54:13

       Yeah.

   26. ABAction Bronson54:14

       I mean, I, to this day, my wardrobe is jerseys. That's all I like wearing.

   27. JRJoe Rogan54:19

       (laughs)

   28. ABAction Bronson54:19

       (laughs) That's all I like wearing. I've taken this-

   29. JRJoe Rogan54:21

       Is, is that a Patrick Ewing?

   30. ABAction Bronson54:22

       Yeah, Patrick Ewing. I wore this jersey-
10. 1:08:06 – 1:19:01

    Pandemic NYC: empty streets, supercar crashes, and traffic rage in normal life

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:08:06

       Yeah.... isn't it? It was g- what, those were so crazy days. You couldn't go outside without a mask on.

    2. ABAction Bronson1:08:13

       I was wearing a gas mask to go to the fucking supermarket.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:08:16

       (laughs)

    4. ABAction Bronson1:08:16

       Can you believe that? (laughs) I had a fucking 3M gas mask with the two things here.

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:08:22

       (screams)

    6. ABAction Bronson1:08:22

       I looked at myself in the mirror and I said, "What am I doing?"

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:08:24

       (laughs)

    8. ABAction Bronson1:08:25

       And I just took that shit off. And I'm like, "Yo, everyone's gonna have to deal with me."

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:08:29

       Uh.

    10. ABAction Bronson1:08:30

        If you're outside and I'm outside, it's on you.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:08:33

        Well, in LA, people would yell at you. They'd yell at you if you'd be outside with no mask on.

    12. ABAction Bronson1:08:37

        There was nobody out in the streets of New York. I had the whole city to myself.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:08:40

        There was a lot of days like that, right?

    14. ABAction Bronson1:08:41

        Had the whole city to myself. I would get from one place to another in lightning speed.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:08:47

        Do you remember there was this one kid who crashed, like, a million-dollar Porsche? He crashed something like crazy ex- I think it was, like, one of those Carrera GTs. Like, someone-

    16. ABAction Bronson1:08:57

        That Paul Walker one?

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:08:58

        Yeah. It was either that or the 918. Like, something cr- some crazy car. And this dude was just using New York City like a racetrack, 'cause there was no cars.

    18. ABAction Bronson1:09:08

        I didn't know about that.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:09:09

        'Cause-

    20. ABAction Bronson1:09:09

        I was doing the same thing in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, though.

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:09:12

        Oh yeah. (laughs)

    22. ABAction Bronson1:09:12

        Like, that's the problem. (laughs)

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:09:14

        This guy fucked up that car.

    24. ABAction Bronson1:09:16

        Mm, that's a nice one.

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:09:18

        Yeah, that's a, that's a Carrera GT. There's not that many of them in the world. And this is a Gemballa.

    26. ABAction Bronson1:09:24

        That looks total.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:09:25

        He has charges dismissed. Oh, the charges are dismissed? So this dude was just driving around like a fucking psychopath.
