26. MSMatt Serra
  We got it.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  There's two Wu Tang songs I always listen to when I'm going to an arena when I'm doing a show. It's Protect Your Neck and Gravel Pit. Those two-
28. MSMatt Serra
  Hmm.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  ... they just get you in the groove.
30. DTDin Thomas
  Yeah, yeah. Get you in, yeah, get you going.
15:00 – 30:00
Mm. …
1. GUGuest
  fight with Benson Henderson was a s- one of the sickest fights ever. He had Benson in a, a 100 different submissions.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm.
3. GUGuest
  And Benson got out all of them. It was, uh, it was pretty sick. Several triangles, kimuras.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Benson doesn't get enough love. Benson doesn't get enough love.
5. GUGuest
  Yeah, it was a great fight when they were in the, uh, WEC.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Damn, dude. Do you think about all the fucking wars that a lot of people have forgot about?
7. GUGuest
  Oh.
8. Mm-hmm.
9. I go.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Because there's so many fights now.
11. GUGuest
  I know. Right?
12. Like it's not like when I was, when we were fighting back in the day. It was-
13. (laughs) It was-
14. It was far and few between, like-
15. It was an event 'cause there was only a few a year, you know?
16. Exactly.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Right. People forgot about Jose Aldo's beginnings.
18. GUGuest
  Man.
19. Bro, I didn't. (laughs)
20. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
21. GUGuest
  When he was in the WEC was there anybody really better?
22. JRJoe Rogan
  No.
23. GUGuest
  No.
24. He's a complete, complete fighter.
25. He, yeah, he's for sure the best WEC fighter out there.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  What... You can't... Look, you can't keep that pace, whatever that pace is when a guy is at the top of the food chain. You can't keep that pace up for very long.
27. GUGuest
  Man, he kept it for 10 years.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  I always say you have to look at a guy by where he was when he was at his best. Like if we're gonna do this like, "Who's the best guy ever?" Thing, that's why I always throw BJ Penn in there.
29. GUGuest
  Yeah.
30. Me too. Me too.
30:00 – 45:00
Crazy show. …
1. JRJoe Rogan
  That was incredible.
2. GUGuest
  Crazy show.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  'Cause that one, these scientists were embedded in this, this group of chimpanzees for 20 years. So these people, these chimpanzees, their whole lives they had seen scientists. They had these rules. You have to stay 20 yards away, don't look them in the eye, no food. Can't have any food anywhere near them. So it's always-
4. JRJohn Rallo
  Fuck, are they gremlins? What the fuck?
5. JRJoe Rogan
  No, man. They're just chimpanzees.
6. GUGuest
  You gotta see-
7. JRJoe Rogan
  If they decide you have something-
8. GUGuest
  You gotta see this.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  If they decide that you have something they want-
10. GUGuest
  Real wild.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  ... there ain't shit you can do about that. There ain't-
12. GUGuest
  Like, they, they were, they were fighting-
13. JRJoe Rogan
  ... shit you can do.
14. GUGuest
  ... over territory, I mean, you, you got to see the hierarchy within, you know, their clans or whatever you want to call it. It was, it's a badass...
15. JRJoe Rogan
  And the guy told me-
16. GUGuest
  You had the guy on your show, right?
17. JRJohn Rallo
  Yeah, yeah.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, the guy was the... Who produced it.
19. JRJohn Rallo
  That's how I heard it.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  The show's so good, dude. It's... This is much better than Chimp Crazy. This is like the opposite of Chimp Crazy.
21. JRJohn Rallo
  Yeah, this is real shit.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Because Chimp Crazy is sad, but this is amazing. It's amazing. Because they, they, these chimps were so accustomed to these scientists that they acted completely normal around them. Like, they were just a part of the, of nature to them.
23. GUGuest
  Mm-hmm.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Because their whole life they had had scientists around with cameras.
25. JRJohn Rallo
  Yeah.
26. GUGuest
  Right.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  It was just a thing in the forest. It was just like, "That's a different kind of tree," or something.... as long as you don't have food, as long as you don't look them in the eye, and don't get any closer than 20 yards.
28. MSMatt Serra
  Damn.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Those are the rules. So if the chimps start moving towards you, you move away.
30. MSMatt Serra
  You gotta move back.
45:00 – 57:48
You get some crazy…
1. JRJoe Rogan
  you have to get-
2. MSMatt Serra
  You get some crazy shots in the stomach or something.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  ... you have to get those shots before you start having symptoms. Like they, they have to find out you got bit and then give you those shots. And it has to happen really quickly, 'cause if you don't, it kills most people.
4. MSMatt Serra
  Jesus.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
6. MSMatt Serra
  What's the function of the disease?
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Rabies kills something like 99% of the people that get it.
8. GUGuest
  What?
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, it's an old disease. And so one of the things they figured out is that if they slow down everything in your body and put you into a medically induced coma, it gives your body the resources to fight it off. 'Cause your body can fight it off, but it can't fight it off as quick as the virus moves forward.
10. MSMatt Serra
  Mm.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  It's a cra- it's an old virus, man. It's an old, it's a weird one.
12. GUGuest
  Yo, that's crazy.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  So, like, when you think about what that is, it's a crazy old virus that spreads itself by making its host violent. It is rage. It's, it's that-
14. GUGuest
  Yeah.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  So, so saying that no one would ever do this, these fucking psychopath eggheads that they give these grants to that do this-
16. GUGuest
  Mm-hmm.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  ... fucking, this gain of function research shit-
18. GUGuest
  Right, right.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  ... on viruses, making them more infectious to human beings, do you think they would stop at a, a coronavirus?
20. MSMatt Serra
  No.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Why wouldn't they fuck with rabies?
22. MSMatt Serra
  You know who fights like they have rabies?
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Why wouldn't they... Let's, we need-
24. MSMatt Serra
  Merab. (laughs)
25. GUGuest
  (laughs)
26. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
27. MSMatt Serra
  He does. He tries-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Merab, Merab Dariadze.
29. GUGuest
  He tries to spread the rabies.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  He tries to spread the rabies.
