Broken foot vs. Cocodona 250: why run 250 miles injured?
- JRJoe Rogan
(drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
- NANarrator
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- NANarrator
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) What's going on? (laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
Not much. Hello, Joe Rogan.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hello, Cameron Hanes.
- CHCameron Hanes
Welcome to the podcast.
- JRJoe Rogan
Thank you. Uh, this is my first time trying one of these, uh, new energy drinks that Black Rifle came out. Have you tried them? They're good?
- CHCameron Hanes
I have.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're legit?
- NANarrator
Really good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Everything they do is legit.
- NANarrator
Yeah, really good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Has to be legit. Ah, mango.
- CHCameron Hanes
What do you think?
- JRJoe Rogan
So, this is the part of the podcast where I try to talk you out of running a 250-mile race with a broken foot, you fucking maniac. (laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
We're talking about my book.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
This is, the whole point of this was, undeniable now.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Well, you'll definitely be undeniable when you run 250 miles with a broken foot.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, it's, uh...
- JRJoe Rogan
Why are you doing that? That's seems like a not a good idea. But what am I, a doctor?
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
Okay. So, so real talk, let's just, we'll break it down. So, if I was a professional athlete in my prime-
- JRJoe Rogan
(clicks tongue) Right.
- CHCameron Hanes
... right, it would obviously make sense to say, and I need to get surgery, my foot's broke, I can't perform, whatever. But since I'm, we know how old I am, almost 60, it's just like, there's no guarantees. And I'm like, if I can fight this off and still whatever, still perform, then I'm going to do that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow. Um, I don't-
- CHCameron Hanes
I can't afford to play the long game. Can I?
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) Fix your foot. It's like, I don't understand. Like, this is what I've always said with people with jujitsu injuries, 'cause I've had a bunch of surgeries.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- 5:51 – 9:44
Why podcasts beat mainstream media: authenticity, incentives, and trust
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, you say that all the time. But man, you, you have so many good conversations and it's like, it's definitely changed... Here's what's crazy, is-... you know, mainstream media, with all the money that the advertisers had to pay or whatever-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- CHCameron Hanes
... it's like that was, that was their thing. Now, that, it feels like that money's coming to the podcast realm because of you. I mean, you've shown the power of podcasts, and I think all the podcast hosts are benefiting from that. What do you think?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I think we are all benefiting from all of our work. I mean, I don't think it's me. Um, you know, I just have been doing it longer than most. You know, but there's guys like Carolla and a few other guys that have been doing it longer than me. You know? It's just, uh, podcasting is just better because there's less people involved. It's really that simple. The problem with stuff like Fox News and CNN is there's too many people involved and too many interests, right? You have the interests of the network, you have the interests of the censors. You have a bunch of people that, you know, don't want you talking about certain things, or want you talking about certain other things. Like, they want you to push certain narratives. There's too many people. And so it feels curated, and so when you're listening, it doesn't resonate. But when you're listening to two people just shoot the shit, you're like, "Oh, I know what that's like." Like, that make, that's, like if someone came over to your house and started talking like a CNN anchor, you'd be like, "What the fuck is this guy doing in my house?"
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"Get him out of here."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"I can't relax. You're trying to have a class I want."
- CHCameron Hanes
Like, how would he talk? How would he talk?
- JRJoe Rogan
"What we, what we've learned today is that climate change is the most important..."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And you'd be like, "Oh, God."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"Get this guy out of the fucking house."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "What are you saying? Why do you talk like that?"
- CHCameron Hanes
So Douglas Murray's gonna come over to my house, it sounds like?
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you ever been...
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I mean, it's just, there's people that are professional talking heads.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you know, like, there's, there's people that are professional sportscasters. You know, they talk like a sportscaster voice.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like Howard Cosell. Why know-
- CHCameron Hanes
Radio DJ voice.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, radio DJ voice.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Exactly. Top 40 DJ voices. Like, they're all the same.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Coming up next." "All right."
- 9:44 – 13:09
Social pressure, hot-button topics, and the free-speech clampdown debate
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, I wonder if, uh, I, I don't even know how to word it, but people are so used to, like, the fake stuff. Like, even, even if somebody says, if you talk about being transgender and say, "Oh, well, you know, this boy felt like a girl," whatever, it's like you're almost programmed to be like, "Oh, oh, hmm, okay." Just like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you're programmed to not have an opinion about it. Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right, and so, and that, and, 'cause normally how, as guys work, you talk, we talk about radio DJ voice or the fake or whatever, like, that's not how people talk. But guys can be around a certain group of people, and there'll be, like, one guy. You'd be like, "That guy seemed off."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Yes. Yes.
- CHCameron Hanes
"What the fuck's wrong with that guy?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, some guy will infiltrate your group.
- CHCameron Hanes
And that's like, that's like, that's like a subtle little thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- CHCameron Hanes
That's not like the things we're talking about, (clicks fingers) like the big things.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- CHCameron Hanes
That's like, this, guys have these, this radar, and you're just like, "Who the fuck is this guy?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, right, right, right.
- CHCameron Hanes
But, and then you go to the complete other realm, where it's so pres- preposterous.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
And we're supposed to be like, "Oh, okay."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
"Hm, that makes sense."
- JRJoe Rogan
I actually heard a psychologist discussing this, and he said that there's an issue with talking about things publicly, especially with social media, because there's so much backlash on social media whenever you hit any hot button topic. Immigration, politics, anything that's like a real highly, hotly contended topic. People will say things just so they don't get attacked, and they, they distort their opinions based on how much they think they're going to get attacked.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So all that social media stuff is super effective. People attacking people is super effective for people to, like... This is how transgender people in sports got through.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
The only way it got through is 'cause people were calling people bigots.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Every parent, every fucking parent who's not a complete psychopath-
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... doesn't want their daughter wrestling with some boy who thinks he's a girl.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's crazy. Playing rugby with some boy who thinks he's a girl. That's crazy. Have a six-foot-six, 50-year-old man who identifies as being 17-year-old girl. That's fucking crazy.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But you can't say that's crazy, or your feed will be bombarded with a bunch of sociopaths attacking you-
- 13:09 – 17:51
Elon Musk, Twitter/X, government influence, and ‘debanking’ fears
- JRJoe Rogan
... is 'cause Twitter was complete nonsense. It was just a psyop. The whole thing was just a psyop. We all owe Elon Musk a huge debt. When he bought Twitter, he changed the conversations in the country.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Because all of a sudden, people were free. They were-
- CHCameron Hanes
Could say what you want.
- JRJoe Rogan
You were free to say whatever you wanted.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Before, you couldn't say anything bad about Biden, or the liberals, or COVID vaccines, or anything.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You would be banned.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You'd be banned.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, that's... You know, that Elon coming, doing what he's done, has cha- has definitely changed the world, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Without a doubt.
- CHCameron Hanes
I mean, has to. And how much credit does he deserve? Because he did not des- have to do that. I mean, he had s- more money than anybody. Why would he do... Why would he put himself out there like that, other than to make a positive change for humanity, essentially?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, in talking with him both publicly and privately, he was genuinely concerned that we were losing free speech. He was genuinely concerned that it was being hijacked. It was being hijacked under the guise of safety. Safety. Like, "We have to, we have to protect people. We have to protect marginalized people."
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like marginalized male perverts who want to wear dresses and pretend-
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... they're a girl and go to the bathroom.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Literally.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Literally.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? And that's, that's dangerous with that, but it's also dangerous with everything else. It's also dangerous, like if you're a person who's a progressive person who believes in gay rights or, you know, f- any of, anything... Welfare, universal basic... Whatever it is. Imagine living in a world where there's no free speech, but the Republicans are in control. Or like super religious conservative people are in control, or Muslims are in control.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's imagine, like the, the Muslim population in this country is expanding all the time. They've got Muslim-run cities now. They have call to prayer in certain cities in this country. Imagine that goes everywhere. They're in control of social media, and they institute Sharia law on social media, and they want to throw gay people off the roof.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is where it goes.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, right.
- 17:51 – 23:56
Politicians on podcasts, gatekeeping guests, and the Douglas Murray controversy
- JRJoe Rogan
... I offered to have that Pierre guy come on the podcast.
- CHCameron Hanes
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
And he didn't do it, wouldn't do it. Thought it was too problematic.
- CHCameron Hanes
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or whatever. Jordan told me. I forget what he said. But they, they were telling him not to do it. Like his advisors were telling him not to do it.
- CHCameron Hanes
What did... Which-
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "Hey-
- CHCameron Hanes
"Hey."
- JRJoe Rogan
... hey, dumbass." (laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
If they can't talk to you and have a conversation hold up, it's not... You're not grilling pe- you're not attacking people.
- JRJoe Rogan
Of course not.
- CHCameron Hanes
This is like a safe s- you know, the friend zone type thing. It's like no. And I heard you talk about Kamala, saying just want to get to know her, just want to talk to her.
- JRJoe Rogan
100%. I said if there's certain things they didn't want to talk about, I don't need to talk about them.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't care. I'm like, "I could talk to you about fucking AI."
- CHCameron Hanes
You've never been the gotcha guy.
- JRJoe Rogan

Because if you refuse to get help, you're not just hurting yourself, you're hurting the people around you. It can impact your family, friends, even your colleagues.

- CHCameron Hanes
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. If like, if someone, if I disagree with someone, I just say I disagree with them. I'm not, I don't attack people. As I've gotten older and wiser in life, I want less conflict. I mean, sometimes you have to be able to disagree in a way that's forceful, but I don't want, I'm never insulting or attack people.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And I, especially this Pierre Poilievre guy, 'cause he, I don't know how to say his name. How do you say it?
- NANarrator
No idea.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a weird way of saying it.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Poilievre. Um, I would just ask him questions, like, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Canada? Like, how did this happen? Why did it go this way?"
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Uh, what can be done to reverse some of these things that have been put into place? Like, how did you feel about this? What did, what would you have done differently?"
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Real simple stuff.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- 23:56 – 41:41
Experts vs. real expertise: credentials, incentives, and lifelong learning
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. And also, what is learning? I mean, what is learning?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
So you said he, he read. He did all this research.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
Douglas Murray has a problem with I don't know who, but what is, how is that different than going to school essentially?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- CHCameron Hanes
I mean...
- JRJoe Rogan
It's no different. It's no different. I mean, there are experts that stop learning the moment they get their degree. And that's real.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it's a real problem. It's a real problem in medicine. You know, I had an argument with Bryan Callen years ago because his doctor was telling him, "You don't need supplements. You, you just, you just need a balanced diet." That's what his doctor was saying. I go, "Your doctor looks like shit."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "What are you talk- Your doctor's fat. He's got a big pot belly."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"He's got a big doughy face."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"He probably can't run around the block. Shut the fuck up. Don't listen to that guy."
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
"There's plenty of peer-reviewed papers that talk about the efficacy of vitamins."
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
"They're super beneficial for you. This is crazy talk."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
This appeal to experts, just because you have a degree, you're not always right.
- CHCameron Hanes
No, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're wrong all the time.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, that was, that was pretty disappointing because I, I thought Douglas Murray, I liked listening to him. I thought he was super smart, obviously very articulate-
- JRJoe Rogan
But he sounds so good with that accent.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. And, and that... But then on that one, I think I told you, is like... Or I texted you something about, "Man, he seemed pompous." It's like, that seemed like a... That took a big... For me, it was a loss for him big time.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, he used tactics rather than facts.
- CHCameron Hanes
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, the tactic was an appeal to experts like that, and there was also saying that the coverage was imbalanced because they didn't have enough people that were pro-Israel. But then I thought about it afterwards, I'm like, "Oh, quite a few."
- 41:41 – 49:26
Bowhunting, stem cells, and training inspiration from fight legends
- CHCameron Hanes
How awesome is bowhunting, though?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's the best.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Best way to get food.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. I love it.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's no better way to get food.
- CHCameron Hanes
Have, have you been shooting much?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Shot this morning. Before I-
- CHCameron Hanes
Did you?
- JRJoe Rogan
... went to Ways to Well. Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
Are we gonna shoot?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, I don't know if I have time today, unfortunately, because we spent so much time at Ways to Well, and I gotta, I gotta head home after this.
- CHCameron Hanes
Getting healthy?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, we were getting stem cells today, and the... What's the mask, the infusion, the lung stuff?
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, that was, uh... Well, it's stem cell nebulizer, basically.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah, so you breathe it in. So you breathe it in like vape.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're vaping stem cells. (laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
It's gotta be. Hey, all I know, and, and I said this when I was there, but I did that last time, and then I ran a five-mile race. It was 8K, but my fastest five miles I've ever run at-
- JRJoe Rogan
Really? With a broken foot?
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
At 57. So it's like, I don't know what it... If it didn't hurt-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
... it didn't hurt me, obviously.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, they've d- done-... so many amazing things with me that I'm, you know, when they say something is really great, you should try it. I'm like, "Okay."
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So I put the mask on. I'm sitting here with you, we're talking about Rocky Marciano. (laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Where I got into these old, uh, videos on YouTube of fighters training. And I got into this, uh, one video that I sent you about Rocky Marciano and how insane his training was. And it was seven days a week. He would spar sometimes 30, 40 rounds in a day. He would run ten miles in the morning and then five more miles at night, and then he would swim two miles in the lake.
- 49:26 – 58:24
Marvin Hagler, John Mugabi, and the cost of greatness in combat sports
- JRJoe Rogan
You know who else trained like that forever? Marvin Hagler.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, I- I thought you were gonna say Floyd.
- JRJoe Rogan
Marvin Hagler trained like a fucking warrior.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
He used to run in... He used to train on the sand dunes in the cape, of Cape Cod in the middle of the winter. And he would just be running, screaming, "War."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) Love that.
- JRJoe Rogan
"War!" Just throwing punches. He would run in combat boots.
- CHCameron Hanes
Dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was an animal.
- CHCameron Hanes
I love that.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was an animal, just spartan. He would go to this Provincetown Inn, no fucking phones. He would tell his wife and family, "I'm gone. I don't exist. I'm gone." For two months, he would just vanish. And every day, it would be the same thing. And he would spar, he would spar a lot.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hagler was sparring 100 rounds a week, so he was sparring 20 rounds a day for five days in a row.
- CHCameron Hanes
So...
- JRJoe Rogan
And he would bring in fresh sparring partners too.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not like one guy he's beating up for 20 rounds.
- CHCameron Hanes
So...
- JRJoe Rogan
No, he'd bring in... He would rotate-
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... five different sparring partners, so they would all-
- CHCameron Hanes
Did Khabib...
- JRJoe Rogan
... come in and ro- and do four rounds each.
- CHCameron Hanes
Did Khabib do that too, kinda?
- JRJoe Rogan
Perhaps. Uh, I don't know. I mean, um, I don't know exact-... Khabib out- had unbelievably grueling training sessions. And, you know, that was one of the things that was so apparent, like with his, his endurance and his, his... Their discipline was like second to none.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
They were like, "No girlfriends, no phones, no bullshit, no video games. Fuck you, we train."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, you know, recover, train, eat, recover, train. And-
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- 58:24 – 1:25:09
David Goggins, Izzy training footage, and forging willpower
- CHCameron Hanes
It's, it's like, it's... And it's one reason why Goggins is such a draw.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, for sure.
- CHCameron Hanes
You know, he, he's sort of like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, he's very much like that. But the craziest thing about Goggins is he's not even training for anything.
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I asked him about it. He goes, "I'm downloading, downloading information." I'm like, "You're downloading? What are you downloading?"
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"This is so crazy."
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
We were talking about the video that he, that, uh, Stylebender just put out. J- shout out to Stylebender for putting this out, too.
- CHCameron Hanes
I know. Respect.
- JRJoe Rogan
We were also giving him credit because-
- CHCameron Hanes
Respect.
- JRJoe Rogan
... because David broke him.
- NANarrator
The higher we go, uh- 'Cause if they're hurting- See that comment? ... you're hurting, you are willing to go to another level higher, that's when you break. Come off of your feet. Step up. This is awesome. Where your world ends, mine begins.
- JRJoe Rogan
Where your world ends-
- NANarrator
Come on.
- JRJoe Rogan
... mine begins.
- NANarrator
Keep going, keep going.
- CHCameron Hanes
Ooh.
- JRJoe Rogan
And this is one of Goggins' multiple workouts of the day that he took Stylebender through.
- CHCameron Hanes
There, Stylebender's off the...
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, and he's-
- NANarrator
Come on. Come on.
- JRJoe Rogan
... they're helping him back up.
- NANarrator
Come on.
- JRJoe Rogan
By the way, this is after they already ran. This is like the second, this is the third thing they did. They ran, then they did the Airdyne bike, and then they're doing this. So they already did sprints on the Airdyne bike, they ran for distance. I don't know how many miles they ran, but he was exhausted after the run, then exhausted after the Airdyne, and then he does this. And then they do it all over again.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They start again with the fucking Airdyne machine. They go back and forth and then it goes to sit-ups and then it goes to s-
