   11. JRJohn Rallo0:19

       This is badass.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:20

       This is fucking awesome. I've known all you guys for fucking ever. Uh, I think I've known you the longest. I've known you for at least 20 years.

   13. MSMatt Serra0:28

       2001, I believe.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       Wow.

   15. MSMatt Serra0:30

       2001.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       I remember you were sleeping in your dojo.

   17. MSMatt Serra0:35

       (laughs) Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       You were... He- he had a bucket, like a- a- a thing you would piss in-

   19. MSMatt Serra0:38

       Yeah. (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       ... 'cause he drank so much water. So he had this jug next to his bed. He's like, "I'm tired. I wanna get up."

   21. MSMatt Serra0:45

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       "I wanna get up and go to the bathroom. I gotta piss. I just piss right there and go back to sleep."

   23. MSMatt Serra0:49

       (laughs) I- I lived in my first Storefront Academy in East Meadow, my hometown, and Joe and Eddie Bravo were in town for some reason. I think you were doing a- a gig or something.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       Yeah. I was doing a gig, and you came and picked us up.

   25. MSMatt Serra1:00

       Yeah, at the- at the- at the-

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Really?

   27. MSMatt Serra1:01

       ... at the Hicksville.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       What? At the Hicksville. Yeah, we took the train.

   29. MSMatt Serra1:03

       What?

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       And he picked us up at the train station.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      those seances helped him develop chiropractic as he wrote in his 1914 book, The Chiropractor, "The knowledge and philosophy given me by Dr. Jim Atkinson, an intelligent, spiritual being, together with explanations of pneumonia, phenomena," (laughs) rather, should've said.

   2. DTDin Thomas15:16

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:16

      "Phenomena, principles resolved from causes, effects, powers, laws, and utility, appealed to my reason. The method by which I obtained an explanation of certain physical phenomena from an intelligence in the spiritual world is known in Biblical language as inspiration. In a great measure, the chiropractor's adjuster was written under such spiritual promptings." So, this guy came up with this from a seance.

   4. DTDin Thomas15:42

      (laughs)

   5. (laughs)

   6. MSMatt Serra15:43

      He learned it from a ghost.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:45

      He learned it from a ghost. And then the idea behind it though is that you could fix all these different problems that people have by adjusting them, like all kinds of wild shit. And that they would, they would, they would, they thought they could... See what it said that they thought they could do with it, 'cause it's kind of nutty when you read, like, the stuff that he was saying he could fix.

   8. MSMatt Serra16:07

      Man, I just think it feels good, like when you-

   9. JRJoe Rogan16:09

      Feels good.

   10. MSMatt Serra16:09

       ... crack your knuckles, it feels good.

   11. JRJoe Rogan16:10

       Yeah, like any, anything feels good.

   12. MSMatt Serra16:11

       You crack, you crack anything, it feels good.

   13. JRJoe Rogan16:12

       I think also getting pushed on and rubbed and a- adjusted, it's good for you.

   14. DTDin Thomas16:16

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       It feels good.

   16. DTDin Thomas16:17

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:17

       It's like when I get deep tissue massage, these motherfuckers, they dig in there-

   18. DTDin Thomas16:21

       Oh, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:21

       ... with their elbows, and they're kind of cracking shit and moving it.

   20. DTDin Thomas16:23

       Right.

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       There's a lot of tension, and you can l- alleviate that. The, I'm not saying that being adjusted or any of these things these people do doesn't offer people help. It, I'm sure it does. Don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day, where did that come from? And why are you calling it that?

   22. MSMatt Serra16:39

       Yeah, it's-

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:39

       So if you-

   24. MSMatt Serra16:40

       ... that's some bullshit. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:40

       ... if you wanna call it, if you wanna call it, like, physical maintenance, you know, that's-

   26. MSMatt Serra16:44

       That's-

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:44

       ... 'cause you're, you're-

   28. DTDin Thomas16:44

       Right.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:44

       ... literally attaching something that actually works to something that's really crazy.

   30. MSMatt Serra16:49

       Yeah. Yeah.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. MSMatt Serra30:00

      headphones kind of like this, you know, have my right ... You know, I used to go ... I used to train in the morning. I used to get my head straight, and I'd go there and just whistle- I'm not going ... Now I'm gonna be there like fucking Kurt Russell in that motherfucker.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      (laughs)

   3. JRJohn Rallo30:12

      (laughs)

   4. MSMatt Serra30:12

      I'm not gonna be in there like chilling, walking the fucking ... I- you have to be on guard. It's fucking nasty, dude. That's ... The couple times I've been in there, it, it is what it is, but I think you get a sense of what it's like there now. It, it's not ... You just gotta have your guard up. And I di-

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:27

      It's changed.

   6. MSMatt Serra30:27

      ... I did not feel ... And I never lower my sword, but I didn't have to feel like I was so on edge. You see shit all the time on the fucking subway-

   7. JRJohn Rallo30:36

      May just have that-

   8. MSMatt Serra30:36

      ... on this and that.

   9. JRJohn Rallo30:37

      ... guy, you know, the guy who got choked, you know, to death on the, uh, on the subway there with-

   10. MSMatt Serra30:42

       Well, yeah, how did-

   11. JRJohn Rallo30:44

       ... the marine kid.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       I'm hearing all these different stories-

   13. MSMatt Serra30:46

       Listen.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       ... in that.

   15. MSMatt Serra30:47

       Yeah, well.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Did, did the guy get choked to death? Is that what happened?

   17. JRJohn Rallo30:50

       Yeah.

   18. MSMatt Serra30:50

       I don't ... Well, the ... This is th-

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       Definitely.

   20. MSMatt Serra30:52

       This is what happened, and-

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       The guy was threatening-

   22. MSMatt Serra30:54

       It's nothing, I don't-

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       ... people on a, on a train.

   24. MSMatt Serra30:56

       The guy, I don't know, the marine ... There was a marine.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       Right.

   26. MSMatt Serra30:59

       He p- he put him in a chokehold. I don't know how long he held it for. I don't know how he held it ... Well, he's trained.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       Yeah, never seen the video.

   28. MSMatt Serra31:04

       So this is the thing.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:05

       Yeah.

   30. MSMatt Serra31:05

       The people at home-... when they put a, a, a chokehold on, when you're doing it correctly, it stops the carotid arteries. I know we all know this, guys-
4. 45:00 – 58:53

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      that's the wrong dude to flinch on.

   2. MSMatt Serra45:02

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      Oh my god.

   4. MSMatt Serra45:04

      But that's- that's the way it should be, though. Fuck yeah.

   5. DTDin Thomas45:06

      I mean, yeah.

   6. MSMatt Serra45:06

      You know? The guys that-

   7. DTDin Thomas45:07

      I think most fighters are that way.

   8. MSMatt Serra45:08

      Yeah, most fighters are like that. Most-

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      That was totally unnecessary. Like, that guy did not have to do that to him. The whole thing was provoked. He's a dick.

   10. MSMatt Serra45:15

       Yeah. He- he deserved it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:17

       Yeah, he deserved it, for sure.

   12. MSMatt Serra45:17

       Yeah.

   13. DTDin Thomas45:17

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:17

       He learned a lesson. That's the universe.

   15. MSMatt Serra45:19

       Man. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       And those are videos for everybody to see, too. Like, kids could- should see that and go, "Oh, yeah. Don't-"

   17. MSMatt Serra45:24

       It's dar- you know what it is? It's Darwinism. You know what I'm saying? Like, when you a asshole like that, you dumb-

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Sure.

   19. MSMatt Serra45:28

       ... you get knocked out.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:29

       Right, or you get eaten.

   21. MSMatt Serra45:30

       Yeah, you get eaten.

   22. DTDin Thomas45:31

       Back- back in the old days.

   23. Back in the day, that's how it was.

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Yeah.

   25. DTDin Thomas45:33

       You know, if you talk shit, you got hit. You suffered consequences. Now, there are no consequences.

   26. MSMatt Serra45:38

       That's why I got off- that's why I got off Twitter. I- I'm- I haven't been on Twitter in e- it's-

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       Eh.

   28. MSMatt Serra45:42

       My life is better.

   29. DTDin Thomas45:43

       (laughs)

   30. MSMatt Serra45:43

       It's better. I don't- I don't even know what goes on there. I haven't ... That's what I'm saying, like, I'm in my world. Like, I do the Instagram 'cause I like to spread positivity and I like to do stuff like that with my schools and stuff. But the Twitter thing, I felt, well, I don't get it. I liter- I- I get it if it's some important message that you want out there for people that can't get it out there. I get that. But otherwise, I would just see negativity. I- I don't-
