    (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) It's dope, right?

    2. JP

      Yeah, it's pretty cool.

    3. JR

      It's ... I don't think that's technically an NFT. It's like a digital representation of the NFT. He gave me an NFT too, but you have to put that in, like, an NFT wallet, which ...

    4. JP

      I don't know.

    5. JR

      Yep.

    6. JP

      Just roll with that, yeah.

    7. JR

      Well, what does that mean? (door closes) Like, what is an NFT wallet? What is that-

    8. JP

      That's how you store it.

    9. JR

      Exactly, but what does that mean? (clears throat)

    10. JP

      I was right there with you when you were talking about, like, you have no idea what this stuff is, and it's really complicated and everything.

    11. JR

      It's w- it's weird that they're so valuable. That's what's weird.

    12. JP

      Well, and ... But I'm actually gonna, like, try to start one.

    13. JR

      You should.

    14. JP

      (laughs) Yeah.

    15. JR

      It seems like a scam-

    16. JP

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... that, like, people are willingly participating in, so, like, okay. But this guy, Beeple, like, he's an amazing artist. He does art every day. He puts a new piece of digital art out every day, and he's done it for 12 years.

    18. JP

      I saw it, yeah.

    19. JR

      And he's got a gallery that they're building of all these, these kind of things, like this Elon thing, of these j- giant digital artwork pieces-

    20. JP

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      ... where y- it's ... So that's, like, he's a different thing. Some people are just making NFTs of, like, a- an image of them, like, at the park or something like that, like-

    22. JP

      I, I'm trying to figure out, like, what I can give to, like, the super fans, right?

    23. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JP

      So, like, I'm like, "Do they want, like, an old, like, fight bra or something?"

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. JP

      Like, do they, do they want, like, tickets to the fight? Like, what do these guys want? Like, what do you mean, you know?

    27. JR

      They definitely want a fight bra.

    28. JP

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. JP

      So I think I was gonna, like-

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JP

      because I feel like, at the end of the day, those are all excuses.

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JP

      And you gotta be able to perform, and that's the bottom line.

    4. JR

      Yeah. And as a professional, especially now as a professional and a world champion, like, you're in this st- like, you really have to, like, make sure everything is aligned properly: your mind, your rest, your recovery, the whole deal.

    5. JP

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      What is next? Do you think a rematch is next?

    7. JP

      Absolutely.

    8. JR

      Yeah?

    9. JP

      There's still naysayers out there.

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. JP

      There's still people that think it was a fluke.

    12. JR

      But I get you.

    13. JP

      There's still people that are harassing me.

    14. JR

      But you're still angry.

    15. JP

      There's still people that are, like, being like, "She's gonna kill you." You know, they, they were like, "Ten seconds and you're dead," you know. And so, I- I- I just- I would love nothing more than to, to put the naysayers to bed f- for one last time.

    16. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    17. JP

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      Now, have you guys started discussing when and if that can happen?

    19. JP

      Yes. Um, and, you know, in my mind, in a perfect world-

    20. JR

      July 4th.

    21. JP

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      July 4th, we're getting it.

    23. JP

      Right?

    24. JR

      Yes.

    25. JP

      Yes.

    26. JR

      Yes.

    27. JP

      Let's do it. Yes.

    28. JR

      Yes.

    29. JP

      I'm t- I totally would love to fight in Vegas.

    30. JR

      It's the biggest card.

  3. 30:0045:00

    No, Spokane. …

    1. JR

      three weeks ago. Okay, so that's what I was referring to. Um, so you were in Tacoma, right? That's where you're out of?

    2. JP

      No, Spokane.

    3. JR

      Spokane, that's right.

    4. JP

      Spokane, Washington. Yeah.

    5. JR

      Spokane is, uh... That's, like, towards the middle.

    6. JP

      So, uh, so there's a mountain range that separates the state of Washington. Seattle's on the coast and the ocean, and then Spokane's on the exact opposite side.

    7. JR

      Spokane's better weather, right?

    8. JP

      Yeah, yeah, because of that mountain range.

    9. JR

      Because it doesn't rain-

    10. JP

      Yeah, it rains-

    11. JR

      ... all the time.

    12. JP

      ... all the time in Seattle, and then it's, like, a really dry heat over in Spokane.

    13. JR

      That's better. I'll take that. That-

    14. JP

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      ... rain's for the birds.

    16. JP

      Yeah, no. (laughs)

    17. JR

      Fuck that.

    18. JP

      It's depressing.

    19. JR

      It's so depressing.

    20. JP

      They need the psilocybin over there-

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. JP

      ... because they're so depressed because it rains all the time.

    23. JR

      Yeah, I remember when I was there. We... The... One of my escape-from-LA trips was, uh, Seattle, before the shit hit the fan with COVID.

    24. JP

      Right.

    25. JR

      I was thinking of taking my family and moving to Seattle.

    26. JP

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      And we looked around there, but I... (laughs) I had a buddy of mine who was a coach at 10th Planet in Portland, and we, we looked at Portland too, and he had moved up there-

    28. JP

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... from LA. And I go, "You don't miss California at all?" He goes, "No, dude, man, it's fucking amazing up here."

    30. JP

      Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    There was so many…

    1. JP

    2. JR

      There was so many excuses, and it was the way that Israel beat him.

    3. JP

      Right.

    4. JR

      I mean, Izzy just lit him up like a Christmas tree.

    5. JP

      Right.

    6. JR

      And that was not a competitive fight-

    7. JP

      Hmm.

    8. JR

      ... by any stretch of the imagination.

    9. JP

      No.

    10. JR

      And I think when you're a guy who steamrolls everybody and walks down Yoel Romero-

    11. JP

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      ... and you look like a just destroyer.

    13. JP

      Right.

    14. JR

      And then this skinny dude just lights you up-

    15. JP

      Right.

    16. JR

      ... and fucks you up, and then dry humps you from behind when he's beating you up.

    17. JP

      (laughs) Not a good look. Yeah.

    18. JR

      And then Marvin Vettori beat him up too.

    19. JP

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      That was a good fight though. That was, that was a close fight, but M- Marvin Vettori's a fucking bull, that guy.

    21. JP

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      There's another one. How the fuck is that guy 185 pounds? I stand next to him, like, "How are you... You're a heavyweight."

    23. JP

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      Like, how the fuck are you 185 pounds?

    25. JP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      They're so big.

    27. JP

      Yeah. I- I just know that I heard anyhow from one of my friends who is signed with the PFL that she was gonna stay with the PFL. And then I think yesterday-

    28. JR

      Interesting.

    29. JP

      ... they said that they signed a new deal and that, I believe that she's staying with the PFL.

    30. JR

      She should, if she makes good money. I mean-

  5. 1:00:001:02:48

    He's still... never got…

    1. JP

      still doing it.

    2. JR

      He's still... never got fat-

    3. JP

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      ... always fit. You know, Floyd would go to a nightclub and then leave the nightclub and, uh, have his drivers drive the car home and he would run behind the car.

    5. JP

      That's awesome.

    6. JR

      Run miles, and in his fucking jeans and sneakers and shit.

    7. JP

      T- that's one guy-

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. JP

      ... I would just die to meet. I would love to meet him.

    10. JR

      His motivation apparently... I mean, obviously he loves money.

    11. JP

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      And his motivation is most certainly money, but having that money-

    13. JP

      I think that's why I love him-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. JP

      ... is because he loves money so much. Like-

    16. JR

      (laughs) Money Mayweather.

    17. JP

      And he does, and he does it good, you know what I mean?

    18. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    19. JP

      He's styling and profiling.

    20. JR

      Yeah.

    21. JP

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      But he's always involved in like these strange thing... Like he's in Dubai all the time, like involved in these weird NFT deals and stuff.

    23. JP

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      Like-

    25. JP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      ... he's a fascinating character because he literally never lost his motivation.

    27. JP

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Even though he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

    29. JP

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      He still... And he's just been so brilliant in taking these fights-
