    (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. NA

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) What's going on? (laughs)

    4. CH

      Not much. Hello, Joe Rogan.

    5. JR

      Hello, Cameron Hanes.

    6. CH

      Welcome to the podcast.

    7. JR

      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?

    8. CH

      I have.

    9. JR

      They're legit?

    10. NA

      Really good.

    11. JR

      Everything they do is legit.

    12. NA

      Yeah, really good.

    13. JR

      Has to be legit. Ah, mango.

    14. CH

      What do you think?

    15. JR

      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)

    16. CH

      We're talking about my book.

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. CH

      This is, the whole point of this was, undeniable now.

    19. JR

      (laughs) Well, you'll definitely be undeniable when you run 250 miles with a broken foot.

    20. CH

      Yeah, it's, uh...

    21. JR

      Why are you doing that? That's seems like a not a good idea. But what am I, a doctor?

    22. CH

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. CH

      Okay. So, so real talk, let's just, we'll break it down. So, if I was a professional athlete in my prime-

    25. JR

      (clicks tongue) Right.

    26. CH

      ... 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.

    27. JR

      Wow. Um, I don't-

    28. CH

      I can't afford to play the long game. Can I?

    29. JR

      (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.

    30. CH

      Yeah.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      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.

    2. CH

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      This is where it goes.

    4. CH

      Yeah, right.

    5. JR

      Like you got to leave people the fuck alone.

    6. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      You got to let them say whatever they want to say, and if you don't agree with them, don't follow them or make an argument against it.

    8. CH

      Right.

    9. JR

      It's really that simple.

    10. CH

      Yeah. Yeah.

    11. JR

      That's what America's supposed to be, and it wasn't that way for four fucking years.

    12. CH

      I know.

    13. JR

      During the Biden administration, the FBI was involved in Twitter. The, the government-

    14. CH

      Insane.

    15. JR

      ... intelligence agencies were involved in Twitter. They were telling people to take down true information.

    16. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    17. JR

      And they were getting them to do it, and they were doing it.

    18. CH

      How crazy is that?

    19. JR

      Crazy.

    20. CH

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      People should be up in arms that that took place.

    22. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    23. JR

      Like the Hunter Biden laptop thing, you should be, you should be freaking out. How'd they get 51 former intelligent agencies to sign a- uh, agents to sign off on something they knew was a lie?

    24. CH

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      That's crazy.

    26. CH

      Yeah. And-

    27. JR

      They just did it right in front of our face.

    28. CH

      And no repercussions.

    29. JR

      Nothing.

    30. CH

      It's-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. CH

      him and why did this happen? Because then I, I look around, we talk about the Power of Podcasts, and I see these podcasts, and it's just like, how did this podcast get every guest you could ever want and rise to the top in a heartbeat when we know how it normally works?

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. CH

      It works like you.... decades, right? To get to the top. And then some people r- so I'm thinking like, "How did this happen?"

    4. JR

      Well, some people are really good.

    5. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    6. JR

      You know? And they could be really good right out of the bat. Right off the bat, they could be-

    7. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    8. JR

      ... you know, better at it and then they get a good following. And then once it gets into the top 20 or whatever, then they can get good guests. You know, because when it comes to-

    9. CH

      But that usually takes time.

    10. JR

      Sometimes.

    11. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JR

      I mean, I don't know. I mean, I wonder what would happen if I started the podcast today. If there was all the podcasts that were out right now, and I had never done a podcast, and I started it today and I did it exactly how I'm doing it-

    13. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    14. JR

      ... how long would it take before it catches on? I don't know.

    15. CH

      I don't either.

    16. JR

      I would suck though.

    17. CH

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      That would be a problem. I would suck and everybody would be watching 'cause I sucked when nobody was watching, and I got better at it. I figured out how to do it. Um, but as far as, like, Douglas, I don't know if anybody got to him or whether or not the group that he associates with thinks this way.

    19. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    20. JR

      I don't necessarily put everything inside of a grand conspiracy. It might be that he has financial ties towards certain things. You know, like, c- cer- he, you know, he speaks at certain places. He sells certain books. He knows how he's selling them. I mean ...

    21. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      Or it might be just that's how he thinks about things too. There's some- sometimes people always think, like, "Oh, somebody got to him." Like, maybe that's just how he thinks.

    23. CH

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      Somebody has to think that way, otherwise that wouldn't be an opinion that's out there in the zeitgeist.

    25. CH

      Normally, people don't switch 180 degrees on things though.

    26. JR

      Especially like that, yeah.

    27. CH

      (laughs) I mean ...

    28. JR

      That's true. That's true.

    29. CH

      Because it- because if he's educated on things, if he's been around, if he's, you know, the smart, wise person, you ha- you form this opinion based on that, you don't go 180 degrees the other way and change complete, the complete opposite take.

    30. JR

      Right. Unless you've been influenced.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    There was no Tyson…

    1. JR

      Like-

    2. CH

      There was no Tyson Fury and-

    3. JR

      There was no Mike Tyson either.

    4. CH

      Right.

    5. JR

      Like everybody talks about-

    6. CH

      But still...

    7. JR

      ... Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano's great. Mike Tyson would have went through him like a fucking train through a flock of sheep.

    8. CH

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      It- it's a different world. Rocky Marciano, at his heaviest, he weighed 192.

    10. CH

      Okay.

    11. JR

      He fought seven boxers who weighed more than 200 pounds, but people weren't that big back then.

    12. CH

      Right.

    13. JR

      Sonny Liston was. Sonny Liston was big.

    14. CH

      Yeah, so he would have been 20 pounds bigger- bigger than Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston.

    15. JR

      Yes. But Mike Tyson wasn't that big when he was in his prime.

    16. CH

      No.

    17. JR

      When in his prime, he was like 215, 220, you know, and 510 or 511 as well. He wasn't very big, and he-

    18. CH

      He was... That is... He was born in '69. Did I see that right?

    19. JR

      No, no, no. I think that's when he died.

    20. NA

      He died.

    21. CH

      Oh, he died.

    22. JR

      I think he died in '69, yeah.

    23. CH

      Okay. I was gonna, I was gonna say he can't be younger than us. What- what is going on? (laughs)

    24. JR

      No, no, no, no, no. He was the heavyweight champion in the 1950s.

    25. CH

      (laughs) All right, never mind.

    26. JR

      Um, see if you can-

    27. CH

      I do feel old, but just not that old. (laughs)

    28. JR

      Find, um, Rocky Marciano KOs Joe Louis. It was brutal 'cause, you know, back then, when you were 38 or whatever Joe Louis was when they fought, you were really 38.

    29. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    30. JR

      No nutrition.

  5. 1:00:001:12:42

    Falling off. …

    1. JR

      heavy. Stylebender is dying and David Goggins-

    2. CH

      Falling off.

    3. JR

      ... is talking to him-

    4. CH

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... with normal breath.

    6. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      At the same time, a world champion, one of the greatest middleweights of all time can't even keep his food down.

    8. CH

      And remember, this is Stylebender who against Kevin Gastelum was saying, "I'm prepared to die."

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. CH

      Going into the fifth round.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. CH

      Looks across the ring, cage, says, "I'm prepared to die." Same guy.

    13. JR

      Same guy. Yeah. There's levels when it comes to endurance.

    14. CH

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      You know, and I was telling you about, uh, when we were getting our infusions when we were vaping stem cells today.

    16. CH

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      I was telling you about BJ Penn when he was in his prime. When BJ Penn was in his prime, he was training with, uh, Marv Marinovici. And Marv Marinovici had very unorthodox training methods where it was all plyometrics, explosive drills, sprints, box jumps, all this crazy stuff, and he believed, and I'm, I'm hope... I'm not quoting him incorrectly, but he believed that...... fight training was of secondary importance when you're in camp and really what was important is to just have a fucking insane gas tank. Like, BJ Penn knows how to fight. He's a world champ-

    18. CH

      Right.

    19. JR

      ... and he's not gonna forget how to fight, but you could get him training this way, where you have this gas tank that's just insane. And when BJ Penn was training with him, he was unstoppable, man.

    20. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      He was like... I s- always say this. Like, people talk about Khabib being the greatest lightweight of all time, and maybe he is. It's very possible he is. But I would put the BJ Penn that fought Joe "Daddy" Stevenson, the BJ Penn that fought Sean Sherk, the BJ Penn that was like, in that peak when he was training with- I would put him against anybody.

    22. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    23. JR

      Against anybody. Against Die- when he fought Diego Sanchez. He couldn't be stopped and if you got him to the ground, his fucking submission game was insane.

    24. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      It was insane off of his back. He would take your back, you were dead. He would knock you out standing up. His kickboxing was elite and he-

    26. CH

      How do you think Khabib would fight him?

    27. JR

      Take him down, for sure.

    28. CH

      But y-

    29. JR

      He'd probably fight him the same way Georges St-Pierre did. You know?

    30. CH

      Yeah.
