Joe Rogan Experience - Fight Companion - November 24, 2018

1. 0:00 – 3:24

   Fight Companion kickoff: purple fits, Porsche wings, and traffic-speed supercars

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Here we go. Three, two, one.

   2. BCBryan Callen0:03

      My phone's off.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      Ooh. We're live, ladies and gentlemen. This is a fight companion podcast. If you've ever listened to one of these before, oftentimes we don't even watch the fights, but we're watching-

   4. BCBryan Callen0:14

      We talk about more things-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Yes.

   6. BCBryan Callen0:15

      ... than fights.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      But we're watching the fights, certainly at least some of the time.

   8. BCBryan Callen0:20

      There's more to life than fights, come on, that's right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      There's more.

   10. BCBryan Callen0:21

       Did you guys decide to go... Did you call each other and say, "Let's, let's double blast with the lilac," or is that just a coincidence?

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       This is just luck.

   12. BCBryan Callen0:27

       It's a happy coincidence?

   13. BSBrendan Schaub0:28

       Yeah.

   14. BCBryan Callen0:28

       Geniuses wear purple, they say.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       I just decided to wear purple. I got here, he's wearing purple, and he's got a fucking purple car, so he double purpled.

   16. BCBryan Callen0:34

       Uh, yeah, well that car infuriates me. Now, uh-

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       Grape gang.

   18. BCBryan Callen0:37

       ... I've read that, um, lilac, and I'm gonna call that lilac, is actually a head-turner with the ladies. They're drawn to the color.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Really?

   20. BCBryan Callen0:45

       Yes.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       Makes sense.

   22. BCBryan Callen0:46

       So they say if you're gonna go out on a date or you're gonna go out on the town, you might wanna throw some lilac on your body.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       Hmm. Or maybe ladies will see the lilac and think you're trying too hard.

   24. BCBryan Callen0:55

       Maybe, but it soothes my eye.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub0:57

       Like it?

   26. BCBryan Callen0:57

       And I can't take my eyes off your torso.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       But yet, but yet, you don't like his car.

   28. BCBryan Callen1:01

       No, his car-

   29. BSBrendan Schaub1:03

       Whoa.

   30. BCBryan Callen1:03

       Well-
2. 3:24 – 5:56

   Tesla Roadster vs Porsche Taycan: range, acceleration, and ‘does it look cool?’

   1. BSBrendan Schaub3:24

      You're gonna get that, you're gonna get that new Roadster, the one that they launched into space?

   2. JRJoe Rogan3:28

      That is dope as fuck.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub3:29

      You're gonna get that?

   4. JRJoe Rogan3:29

      That thing has got a 600-mile range.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub3:31

      It does?

   6. JRJoe Rogan3:32

      I've been seeing it, yeah.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub3:32

      The new Tesla?

   8. JRJoe Rogan3:33

      'Cause it's, it's lighter and they have more room for batteries.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub3:36

      Wow.

   10. JRJoe Rogan3:36

       And they're more efficient with, uh, the battery software and everything now.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub3:40

       Does it, does it not look so gay?

   12. BCBryan Callen3:41

       That's my, that's my only problem with the Tesla.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub3:42

       Oh, does it look cool?

   14. JRJoe Rogan3:44

       Oh, the Roadster looks dope. The Roadster looks dope. It looks like a combination of a Ferrari and a Lotus.

   15. BCBryan Callen3:48

       What?

   16. BSBrendan Schaub3:49

       You never seen it? You never seen it?

   17. BCBryan Callen3:49

       No.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub3:50

       Pull up that, uh, that Roadster.

   19. BCBryan Callen3:51

       My, my problem with the Tesla right now is that it, it... the battery doesn't last long enough.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:55

       No, it just doesn't.

   21. BCBryan Callen3:56

       It just doesn't.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub3:56

       It just doesn't.

   23. BCBryan Callen3:56

       And I don't have anywhere to charge it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:57

       It'll get better though.

   25. BCBryan Callen3:58

       Huh?

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:58

       It'll get... Like, the newer ones, it'll g- every year it'll get better, better or better.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub4:01

       There it is. Look at that.

   28. BCBryan Callen4:02

       It can handle space.

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:03

       That's pretty dope.

   30. BCBryan Callen4:04

       It can handle space.
3. 5:56 – 8:13

   Elon Musk, big-brain thinkers, and finally noticing a fight happening

   1. EBEddie Bravo5:56

      How you doing, bro?

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:57

      Nothing weird about that. Don't be scared of that weed.

   3. EBEddie Bravo5:59

      Is he still trying to build that subway underneath the, uh-

   4. JRJoe Rogan6:01

      That motherfucker's trying to build everything. He, he's ... If you, if you, like, talk to him in private, dude, I wish I could try his brain out for a day and find out what's going on in there. But it's just rattling around information constantly. Things are flying around.

   5. EBEddie Bravo6:14

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan6:14

      And he just, just grabbing it and stuffing it into boxes and, and digging holes under the ground and shooting things to the moon. He's just, he just, he, his brain just doesn't stop.

   7. EBEddie Bravo6:23

      Is he single?

   8. JRJoe Rogan6:25

      Uh, he is now.

   9. EBEddie Bravo6:25

      Holla.

   10. BCBryan Callen6:26

       When you talk-

   11. EBEddie Bravo6:26

       Holl- holla.

   12. BCBryan Callen6:26

       ... when you talk to guys like that who are lateral thinkers, like you realize ... Like the guy who made me feel really dumb and, and almost like a fraud was-

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:33

       Brendan Schaub?

   14. BCBryan Callen6:34

       Not Brendan Schaub. Peter Thiel, I ta-

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:36

       Yeah.

   16. BCBryan Callen6:36

       I was listening to him talk.

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:38

       Yeah. You met him?

   18. EBEddie Bravo6:38

       Yeah.

   19. BCBryan Callen6:38

       And I went ... Yeah, I met him. I had dinner with ... at his house one night. And I, and I was like ... He was talking, and I realized that everything I say is basically an amalgam of the things I've read or heard. And this guy thinks-

   20. JRJoe Rogan6:47

       And he's one of the ones to write those things. Yeah.

   21. BCBryan Callen6:49

       Yeah. He just thinks up things on his own. Like-

   22. JRJoe Rogan6:52

       But, you know, he started PayPal with Elon.

   23. EBEddie Bravo6:54

       God damn. That's how those boys got rich?

   24. JRJoe Rogan6:55

       Yeah.

   25. EBEddie Bravo6:56

       PayPal?

   26. JRJoe Rogan6:56

       (coughs) Well, it's one of the ways.

   27. BCBryan Callen6:58

       Well, whenever you think you're a black belt, you realize you're a white belt. Here you go, buddy. Pass that shit to me. These pussies are going out.

   28. EBEddie Bravo7:05

       Elon, Elon went on the podcast, when he asked him a question though, he really downloaded that data before he gave an answer.

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:10

       Oh, boy.

   30. BCBryan Callen7:10

       Well, he's, um-
4. 8:13 – 10:44

   Jingliang vs Zawada, plus Chuck vs Tito: risks, commissions, and ‘let them fight’ ethics

   1. JRJoe Rogan8:13

      Hey, what's the referee wearing?

   2. EBEddie Bravo8:15

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan8:15

      The referee's, like, wearing something around his waist.

   4. BCBryan Callen8:17

      A paunch?

   5. JRJoe Rogan8:18

      No, no, no. It's like a, a, a, it's an, uh, some sort of electronics or something.

   6. EBEddie Bravo8:22

      Please be a fanny pack. Please be a fanny pack.

   7. JRJoe Rogan8:23

      Is it?

   8. EBEddie Bravo8:24

      Maybe he has a fat dick.

   9. JRJoe Rogan8:26

      Maybe he's got-

   10. EBEddie Bravo8:26

       'Cause he ... No, you see what I'm saying?

   11. JRJoe Rogan8:27

       On both sides he's carrying something. Looks like in the front maybe it is a fanny pack. Um, damn, we don't know who's fighting.

   12. EBEddie Bravo8:34

       Jing Liang.

   13. JRJoe Rogan8:34

       Jing Liang and-

   14. EBEddie Bravo8:35

       He is a beast. Jing Liang and Zawada.

   15. JRJoe Rogan8:36

       Zawada, the Chinese fighter.

   16. EBEddie Bravo8:37

       Yes he is.

   17. BCBryan Callen8:38

       Is he?

   18. EBEddie Bravo8:39

       (clears throat)

   19. BCBryan Callen8:40

       How long has Jing Liang been in UFC?

   20. JRJoe Rogan8:41

       Folks watching at home, 4 minutes and 37, 36, 35, 34, 33 seconds into the first round.

   21. EBEddie Bravo8:49

       Dude, fuck this card. If it ain't Chuck, Tito, I ain't watching.

   22. JRJoe Rogan8:51

       (gasps) Oh, shit.

   23. EBEddie Bravo8:53

       Well.

   24. BCBryan Callen8:53

       They're fighting tonight, right?

   25. EBEddie Bravo8:54

       (laughs) Oh, well,

   26. BSBrendan Schaub8:55

       I, I guess. (laughs)

   27. EBEddie Bravo8:57

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan8:58

       Yeah, that's fight- ... They're fighting tonight.

   29. BCBryan Callen8:59

       Is there an undercard for that or are they just-

   30. EBEddie Bravo9:01

       There's an undercard with, like, 19 fights.
5. 10:44 – 15:04

   Fixing weight cutting: hydration tests, more weight classes, and One FC’s model

   1. JRJoe Rogan10:44

      I'm a big fan of this guy who runs it in California, Andy Foster. He's a-

   2. EBEddie Bravo10:47

      He's a beast.

   3. JRJoe Rogan10:48

      He's, he's really on top of the ball. He's super proactive, he's really smart. He used to fight himself. Life-long mar- martial artist.

   4. EBEddie Bravo10:55

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan10:55

      Full respect for the sport.... um, uh, super progressive about people's weight cuts. Doesn't want people cutting a shitload of weight in his state. He tries to monitor their hydration. He wants to get your weight out-

   6. BCBryan Callen11:07

      Mm-hmm.

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:07

      ... in advance. He's ahead of it with everything.

   8. BCBryan Callen11:09

      He's not a- he's not a dinosaur.

   9. EBEddie Bravo11:10

      He's a- no, he's ahead of it also with weight classes.

   10. BCBryan Callen11:13

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan11:13

       They- they instituted more weight classes in California early on.

   12. BCBryan Callen11:15

       He's- he's the best, I would say.

   13. EBEddie Bravo11:16

       Are you guys aware of how One FC does their- their- their, um, wins?

   14. JRJoe Rogan11:19

       Yeah.

   15. BCBryan Callen11:20

       Yes. Yeah.

   16. EBEddie Bravo11:20

       What is talked about on the podcast-

   17. BCBryan Callen11:21

       Ben Askren.

   18. EBEddie Bravo11:21

       ... how do they do it?

   19. BCBryan Callen11:21

       Ben Askren explained it.

   20. EBEddie Bravo11:23

       Oh, yeah. Talking about it. How- how do they do it?

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:24

       They don't d- there's no weight cutting, man.

   22. BCBryan Callen11:26

       Really?

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:26

       There's no weight cutting. They do hydration tests.

   24. BCBryan Callen11:28

       Wow.

   25. JRJoe Rogan11:29

       They do hydration tests and they-

   26. BCBryan Callen11:30

       So, you find whatever is closest-

   27. JRJoe Rogan11:32

       Exactly.

   28. BCBryan Callen11:32

       ... to your natural weight, which I think makes sense.

   29. JRJoe Rogan11:33

       They move ... They're the- the One FC, 100% is doing it better than anybody else. 100%.

   30. BCBryan Callen11:38

       You know what the problem with that is, though? Some people have bodies-
6. 15:04 – 21:09

   Brandon Vera highlights, soccer kicks, Lethwei headbutts, and back-of-the-head reality

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      Now, did Brandon Vera just won. Did he ... Was that in One FC?

   2. EBEddie Bravo15:08

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:08

      Did you see his fight?

   4. EBEddie Bravo15:09

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      Dude, Brandon Vera is a monster at heavyweight.

   6. BCBryan Callen15:10

      He took like two years off, dude. Still doing it.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      A monster at heavyweight.

   8. BCBryan Callen15:13

      He looks amazing.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      Dude, he looks so good.

   10. BCBryan Callen15:15

       The guy beats no punk either.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       He's terrifying.

   12. BCBryan Callen15:17

       And he starts dude.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       Wasn't- wasn't he an Olympic, uh, Greco guy? Brandon Vera?

   14. BCBryan Callen15:21

       No.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:22

       Um, he was a very-

   16. BCBryan Callen15:23

       Not Olympic. He was high level Greco. Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       He was a very good wrestler. Very good wrestler. And you know what the funny thing is, is really what he's known for is his kickboxing.

   18. BCBryan Callen15:32

       Amazing kickboxing.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       You know, he had a hard time in the UFC, dude, because there was this- there was this one period of time where they were in contract negotiations and I feel like he lost a lot of momentum there.

   20. BCBryan Callen15:41

       Well, 'cause remember he ... 'Cause, uh, he beat Frank Mir-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       Yeah. Frank Mir, KO'd him.

   22. BCBryan Callen15:46

       Frank Mir and goes ... And then goes, "I'm going to be the light heavyweight champion and heavyweight champion."

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       Yeah.

   24. BCBryan Callen15:50

       What's up? And then there were issues.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:52

       Yeah, then there were issues.

   26. BCBryan Callen15:53

       And then he was like out for a while.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       Yeah, he was out for a long time.

   28. BCBryan Callen15:56

       And then he came back and was tough, man.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       He- he got his nose.

   30. EBEddie Bravo15:58

       Came back, fucking, dude.
7. 21:09 – 37:34

   Ernesto Hoost nostalgia to heavyweight kickers: what translates (and what doesn’t)

   1. BSBrendan Schaub21:09

      Did you ever see Ernesto Hoost?

   2. But, but it's a motion. So, so do, so do punches, though.

   3. JRJoe Rogan21:12

      Yes.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub21:12

      Like a lot of right hands, a guy will turn it, hit them right in the fucking back of the head.

   5. Bring up, bring up Ernesto Hoost.

   6. JRJoe Rogan21:17

      There's nothing, there's nothing you can do.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub21:18

      Bring up Ernesto Hoost when he hits, uh, Maurice Green.

   8. JRJoe Rogan21:21

      Maurice Smith.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub21:21

      Uh, Maurice Smith.

   10. JRJoe Rogan21:22

       Yeah.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub21:23

       Dude, he wraps his head around your fucking head and his neck just goes-

   12. JRJoe Rogan21:26

       He wraps, just goes around your head. Yeah.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub21:27

       His neck just went...

   14. JRJoe Rogan21:28

       Yeah.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub21:29

       Oh.

   16. JRJoe Rogan21:29

       That was, um, that was tough. I was good friends with Maurice when that was going on. Maurice was, was fighting when, you know, he probably shouldn't have been done, doing it anymore.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub21:38

       Denver's finest.

   18. Well, Ernesto Hoost is, you know?

   19. JRJoe Rogan21:41

       But I mean, he was fighting like pro kickboxing while he was also doing MMA.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub21:45

       Right.

   21. JRJoe Rogan21:45

       And like, Maurice is a world class kickboxer. But I really think for you to fight a guy like Ernesto Hoost, you kind of have to be kickboxing all the time.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub21:52

       You gotta be all in.

   23. Of course, of course.

   24. JRJoe Rogan21:54

       Yeah.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub21:54

       And we'll see what he does later.

   26. Look at that. Yeah.

   27. Fuck.

   28. JRJoe Rogan21:56

       And Maurice, like for real, was a super skilled world champion kickboxer. But he had been doing...

   29. BSBrendan Schaub22:03

       Oh, my God.

   30. That's rough.
8. 37:34 – 45:58

   Broadcast location shift: China, propaganda, surveillance apps, and why free speech matters

   1. JRJoe Rogan37:34

      ... they're, uh, they're in China. Is that where they're at? Maybe they're just giving us a chance to settle in.

   2. EBEddie Bravo37:40

      Isn't it weird, though?

   3. JRJoe Rogan37:41

      Settle in. (laughs)

   4. EBEddie Bravo37:42

      China's communist, right?

   5. JRJoe Rogan37:44

      Yeah.

   6. BCBryan Callen37:44

      Uh, that's not right.

   7. EBEddie Bravo37:46

      They're not really, they're not real. Okay.

   8. BCBryan Callen37:47

      They're a capitalist country.

   9. EBEddie Bravo37:48

      Okay.

   10. JRJoe Rogan37:48

       Okay, okay.

   11. BCBryan Callen37:48

       They're a command economy, though. Like, so where a lot of the decisions are made by the Politburo, by the, by the actual government and then from there.

   12. EBEddie Bravo37:57

       Their flag looks like the Soviet Union flag.

   13. BCBryan Callen37:59

       Yeah. Well-

   14. JRJoe Rogan38:00

       A tad.

   15. BCBryan Callen38:01

       It's still, it's still-

   16. EBEddie Bravo38:02

       Red China, right?

   17. BCBryan Callen38:02

       Yeah.

   18. EBEddie Bravo38:03

       It's com- it's kinda communist.

   19. BCBryan Callen38:04

       It was. There was a communist revolution in China.

   20. EBEddie Bravo38:05

       Not anymore, though.

   21. BCBryan Callen38:06

       No.

   22. JRJoe Rogan38:06

       It's weird-

   23. BCBryan Callen38:07

       And that is-

   24. JRJoe Rogan38:07

       ... because it's not-

   25. BCBryan Callen38:08

       Deng Xiaopeng.

   26. EBEddie Bravo38:09

       ... it's not a democracy.

   27. You know, when I, I went to Beijing-

   28. JRJoe Rogan38:12

       No.

   29. EBEddie Bravo38:12

       ... uh, for Abu Dhabi, and in the hotels, boom, they have the TV on with the, with the propaganda in your face.

   30. JRJoe Rogan38:19

       Oh, yeah.

   Social platforms controlling reach: shadowbans, bans, and the Alex Jones/Sandy Hook fallout

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:58

      People would just leave. Well, there is, you know what shadow banning is, right?

   2. BSBrendan Schaub46:02

      No.

   3. JRJoe Rogan46:02

      There's a concept of shadow banning, and I don't know if this is... Jamie would be able to speak to this better than me. Has that ever been proved that they actually do shadow ban people?

   4. BCBryan Callen46:11

      What's that?

   5. JRJoe Rogan46:12

      Or is it... It's, they, the term for it is-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub46:14

      You look it up Veritas.

   7. JRJoe Rogan46:15

      ... used is that if you, say, were on Twitter and maybe you were conservative and you said a lot of, uh, rude things about liberals, that maybe they would decide that, although it doesn't violate the terms of service, what you do is, uh, makes them uncomfortable. They make a moral judgment and they decide to limit your engagement with other people.

   8. BCBryan Callen46:34

      That's who I'm talking about.

   9. JRJoe Rogan46:35

      Yeah.

   10. BCBryan Callen46:35

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan46:35

       This is somehow possible. Now, this is possible, right?

   12. BSBrendan Schaub46:37

       But if, but if there's a hater...

   13. BCBryan Callen46:39

       But yeah.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub46:39

       ... but is that like a hater?

   15. BCBryan Callen46:40

       It's like, what you're saying with the paying of, of posts too, it happens similarly there too. If, if you were a, an account that never paid-

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:49

       Yeah.

   17. BCBryan Callen46:49

       ... and once you pay, once you give them five bucks, you're, you're, like, flagged now as an account that will pay and they change your engagement.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub46:55

       Right, but you, we're talking about Twitter.

   19. BCBryan Callen46:56

       It's, it's-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub46:57

       Twitter you don't pay.

   21. BCBryan Callen46:58

       ... all, across the board. Yeah, you can pay on Twitter too.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub46:59

       How do you pay on Twitter? Do you pay on Twitter?

   23. BCBryan Callen47:01

       You don't have to, but there are brands that pay, yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan47:03

       You have to, you can. There's an option.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub47:04

       Oh, okay, yeah. You can pay?

   26. BCBryan Callen47:05

       Yeah, promoted tweets. It's a-

   27. BSBrendan Schaub47:06

       Promoted, in the top tweets?

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:07

       What? Really?

   29. BCBryan Callen47:07

       It's a, the top trending topic for the last year or two is an a- a paid, it says paid or promoted.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub47:13
