... they get me…
- BSBrendan Schaub
... they get me all the time. I'm more famous than them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Aye, aye.
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) I wish we could tell you what we were talking about, but we can't.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, I wish.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, yeah, we were talk- talking about Joey getting in trouble, though. He just, uh, just texted me about it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
How's-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's mad at these people.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... how's Joey Diaz getting in trouble with, what, the MMA community?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
MMA outlets? (laughs) They have nothing to do?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, here's the thing, though. I see where they're coming from. They're, they're journalists. If someone says something that fucking outrageous about what Mackenzie Dern's derriere must, uh-
- BSBrendan Schaub
He said, I s- I think your ass smells great right now, something like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes, something along those lines, we're trying to be careful how to, how to respect.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, the, you're talking about the comic, Uncle Joey, said this?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes, the comic, Uncle Joey. But I get it. I get where they would ... And then Vinny Magalhaes backed him up. I get it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Backed up Joey? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he backed up Joey, says something like, "And tasty, too."
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Yikes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yikes. I get it. Um-
- BSBrendan Schaub
I don't get it. That's Joey Diaz, the great comic, who's commenting on a hot girl in the UFC. He is not a writer. He is not a journalist. These writers have nothing to do, so they're like, "How can we get hits? Let's talk about Joey Diaz."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
'Cause no one's reading any of our shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
I agree with you in s- somewhat, but he definitely did do it. Like, it ain't a bad ... Here's my thing. They could say whatever they want about what he said, but if he was your friend and he texted you that-
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... you would do what I did. Look, 'cause I'll show you, he fucking texted me that before he tweeted it. (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) Of course.
- JRJoe Rogan
I love that Joey texts now. Joey never would text message, but now he's a-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, I hope he doesn't keep texting.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. …
- BSBrendan Schaub
tons and you're losing your technique and your form.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's dangerous shit, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you'll, you lose... And this guy was in, out of position too. I mean, j- his, his body was paralyzed.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Damn, he's pissed. Tate's boy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, Tate knows him. Tate, Tate's big in that... He's, uh, deep in that CrossFit world. He knows a lot of those CrossFit people.
- BSBrendan Schaub
He does a lot of those... He has a Venice Barbell Club, or what's his thing over there? He does something off Lincoln in Venice. He's always f- he's always there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BSBrendan Schaub
They have like some strong man shit, there's caves everywhere.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but the name escapes me.
- BSBrendan Schaub
God, me too.
- JRJoe Rogan
The Box?
- BSBrendan Schaub
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's not it? The Box in Venice?
- BSBrendan Schaub
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whatever.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Calen works at Venice Barbell Club.
- JRJoe Rogan
Tate's always been into-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Tate's somewhere else though.
- JRJoe Rogan
... some kind of that kinda working out.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Is it Deuces?
- JRJoe Rogan
Way back in the day. Is it Deuces? Yeah, okay.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Deuce.
- JRJoe Rogan
There you go, shout out to Deuces.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Man, what's up, Deuce?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, Tate's always been into kettle bells and, you know, muscle ups and shit like that.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Just cool.
- JRJoe Rogan
And just CrossFit style movements. And he's a big fan of CrossFit, he loves it.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Have you done, uh, a ton of, uh, CrossFit?
- JRJoe Rogan
No. I mean, I've done, I do those kind of exercises, right? I do a lot of, uh, kettle bell stuff, I do dead lifts, I do a lot of things that I do-
- 30:00 – 45:00
BJ Penn fought, uh,…
- BSBrendan Schaub
forget... I think he fought...
- JRJoe Rogan
BJ Penn fought, uh, Frankie Edgar. That's where, uh, Frankie Edgar won the title.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... and they, they've had Roy, Nog, or yeah, Nog out there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- BSBrendan Schaub
They haven't been back there in a while.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's been a while.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It's been a minute, hot minute.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. That one was crazy 'cause you, you saw bugs flying around that you never knew were real.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Oh, it's some-
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, what-
- BSBrendan Schaub
... Jumanji shit out there.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is that? (laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
I went on a hike, I was like, "Oh, I'm in Jumanji. This is cool."
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, what in the fuck is this?
- BSBrendan Schaub
Shit you've never seen before.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It's crazy if you go to other countries, man. They, they're whole... They have completely different ecosystems. To the point where you look at things and you go, "What in the fuck is that? What is that?"
- BSBrendan Schaub
But where it's dangerous, too. I remember when I was in Brazil, we were climbing this thing and they go, "Now listen, fellas. You gotta make sure..." And we're with the locals, like, "You have to come down before nightfall, otherwise they're not gonna find you." What kind of shit is this? So we just dipped out, getting up there, and my man (laughs) ...
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
My manager, Lex McMahon, got lost. He, we didn't see him for the rest of the night.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, no!
- BSBrendan Schaub
And literally the local was like, "He's one with the, he's (laughs) ... He's one with the f- jungle now." I'm like, "Ho- what the fuck does that mean?"
- JRJoe Rogan
So how did you lose him, man? Is there-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Is this a bad Rocky movie? Is this The Rundown or some shit?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BSBrendan Schaub
What do you mean he's one with the jungle?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) .
- BSBrendan Schaub
(laughs) He just... He sh- he showed up a day later, just exhausted, didn't get an ounce of sleep, and someone in one of these huts took him under their wing and saved him.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, my god.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Yeah, and Bebop did get helicoptered out of there for if they get trapped at the top. I was like, "Dude, I feel-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, my god.
- 45:00 – 59:16
Right. …
- BSBrendan Schaub
dangerous than T-City, as far as on the ground-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... and, you know he-
- JRJoe Rogan
The way he locks onto things, there's a finality to it that's-
- BSBrendan Schaub
His strength and his-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... now his belief in himself-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... with it, he knows how dangerous he is. There's a... And he... It... And really, it's... He's almost, you know, i- People haven't seen what that kid's capable of either. Like we, we've seen some cool stuff, but some of his flying triangles, his flying arm bars, and his, h- his, his grips and stuff, and his guillotines, and he has a lot of cool setups that we haven't even touched on, so.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he's, uh, e- one of the most impressive guys I've ever seen, in terms of like, when he starts locking something up, you know it's over.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Game over.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "Whoa."
- BSBrendan Schaub
Game over.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just super high level. Very interesting-
- BSBrendan Schaub
But that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
... because he doesn't have like world championship, uh, w- you know, victories in his past, right?
- BSBrendan Schaub
But n- no, he didn't come up through like the IBJFF whatever the hell it is-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... or he didn't go to Metamorphose or anything like that. He's just this kid that grew up on the Gracie mats-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... and over time was that kid who was just like, "Goddamn, he's good," and just kept with it-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BSBrendan Schaub
... kept with it, kept with it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Now the crazy thing is his striking's become just as deadly.
- BSBrendan Schaub
Fluid, loose.
- JRJoe Rogan
When you... You crack Frankie Edgar with an elbow like that and then starch him with that uppercut, that's like... He can do that to you standing now. When you're-
- BSBrendan Schaub
Lift him off his feet.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah. It was incredible.
- BSBrendan Schaub
It was nasty.
- JRJoe Rogan
So where's the, where's the picnic? Picnic's not standing.
