(drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- MSMatt Serra
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) You good?
- JRJoe Rogan
We're up. We're up.
- MSMatt Serra
(laughs) What? Hey, guys. (laughs) We're back. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh. It's just like getting pulled over by the cops, the window rolls down.
- MSMatt Serra
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
The cop's like-
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... "What the fuck were you doing?"
- NANarrator
Shit. Joe, I took, I took one hit of that shit. That shit was strong as hell. I feel high already.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm. That's good for you, D. It's good for you. Opens your mind. It's the right stuff. Yeah, there's some talk about, uh, Trump legalizing marijuana now.
- NANarrator
Right?
- JRJohn Rallo
That would be amazing.
- MSMatt Serra
That, I mean, it kinda feels like it is legal right now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it should be. It's so stupid. It's so da- we're- I can't believe we're still dealing with this. I mean, I would've thought by the time, I just turned 58, I would've thought by the time I'm 58, we would've figured this out.
- JRJohn Rallo
Right?
- MSMatt Serra
Ca- can I tell you, when I, with my ulcerative colitis, it always ca- uh, we always start with my ass for some reason.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- MSMatt Serra
But with my ulcerative colitis, after my co-colonoscopy one time, the doctor's like, "Well, uh, there's this pill you could take. It, it could affect your liver, but not for many years. Like, not for..." Now, this was when I was like 39. I'm 51 now. I w- I'd be, I'd be going to Columbia for stem cells for my fucking liver at this point.
- JRJoe Rogan
Liver, right?
- JRJohn Rallo
Yeah.
- MSMatt Serra
So what I do is the natural stuff, and it does help me. It just, it just helps, and I don't have to... If that's not fucking up my liver or anything.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro, it would ru- it would take the place of so many different pharmaceutical drugs, and that's a big part of the problem.
- MSMatt Serra
(laughs)
- JRJohn Rallo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
The other part of the problem is the alcohol industry. The alcohol industry...
- MSMatt Serra
Oh, yeah, that would suffer for sure, right? Yeah.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Oh. …
- MSMatt Serra
they have, you can get ricotta gnocchis. So they're made with ricotta cheese and-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- MSMatt Serra
... you know, it's like maybe five grams of carbs in a thing of, uh, of gnocchi.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you could cheat it out, but if you really want to get fucking blasted with some carbs-
(laughs)
- MSMatt Serra
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... lasagna will do you in.
Oh, hell yeah, son.
- MSMatt Serra
Lasagna.
- JRJoe Rogan
Lasagna will do you in.
- MSMatt Serra
Lasagna. Love lasagna.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God, there's something about Italian food when I'm really hungry, I just can't help it. I don't care about my diet, fuck it.
The sauces and all that stuff, yeah, it gets you.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It gets you.
It gets you.
- MSMatt Serra
You know Joe DeRosa, the comedian?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he tells... He told me.
- MSMatt Serra
He's got a place called Joey Rosa's, it's a sandwich shop, and Joey Rosa's, they import all their flour.
- JRJoe Rogan
There you go. That's the thing.
- MSMatt Serra
And it's the same thing, they br- they make their bread fresh every day, and it, they throw it out at the end of the day. They never use stale bread, and they never use any preservatives, and he's like, "That's the difference, like you can eat these sandwiches and you feel good."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
Yeah, dude. I'm, I'm telling you.
- MSMatt Serra
It's cra- it's crazy that that's rare.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean...
Isn't that weird?
That-
- MSMatt Serra
That-
- JRJoe Rogan
That should not be how you consume food. You know what I'm saying? Like, you should be feeling good after you eat all the time.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- 30:00 – 45:00
Nice fucking, that's a…
- JRJoe Rogan
point, that's a good point.
- MSMatt Serra
Nice fucking, that's a good point.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MSMatt Serra
Good point.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's true. You get an infection back then-
- MSMatt Serra
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... you get staph, that's a wrap.
- MSMatt Serra
Syphilis.
Yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- MSMatt Serra
Done by 35 over there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but the syphilis thing is really nuts though. But that is why that, that stupid fucking thing that that-
- MSMatt Serra
It's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
... guy was wearing on his head. That's what that is.
- MSMatt Serra
So, so that's the traditi- uh, tradition-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MSMatt Serra
... based off of syphilis and they still do this shit today.
Today.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, and the guys with the most money had the biggest wigs and that's why they called them bigwigs.
- MSMatt Serra
Bigwigs. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It all started with these two brothers that were royals. It was it brother or the guy and his cousin? I forget. But the- these guys who were royals in France and, uh, these guys were like, you know, the socialites. They were the, the celebrated people. And they started losing their hair 'cause they're freaks, you know?
- MSMatt Serra
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
They're probably fucking up a storm over there.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're catching syphilis and they got holes in their face and shit and they smell awful and their fucking hair is falling out. So they just get a wig. And then other dudes say, "I wanna be like him," so they got wigs. And then a bunch of people started getting syphilis and they covered it up with wigs.
- MSMatt Serra
But that's crazy to me that you're like almost celebrating having syphilis by getting a bigger wig.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wig. Well, you know what it is? It's like you're not celebrating syphilis, but since everybody's wearing a wig, your wig is the dopest wig.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah. (laughs)
That's right.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
Right. …
- JRJoe Rogan
books.
- MSMatt Serra
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
So you, you come up with a superhero type character now in a movie. No one's gonna watch it.
- MSMatt Serra
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, I don't want... I don't want a new one. No one wants a new one.
- MSMatt Serra
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Everyone wants The Hulk, everybody wants Spider-Man. You wanna see Spider-Man.
- MSMatt Serra
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's like... How many different dudes have been the Hulk?
- MSMatt Serra
See, Thor.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like four or five dudes have been the Hulk.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah, they kept changing the Hulk.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bunch of dudes have been Spider-Man.
- MSMatt Serra
Should've kept Edward, that Edward man was good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ed Norton was the best.
- MSMatt Serra
They got rid of him 'cause he wanted to keep the Hulk like the Hulk-
- JRJoe Rogan
I liked what he did.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
You know what I mean? They, they didn't like him when he was...
- JRJoe Rogan
They said smack him and... Yeah. (laughs)
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah. Right, right. (laughs)
(laughs)
It's like... It's true.
- JRJoe Rogan
That was my favorite version of the Hulk.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
That's great.
- JRJoe Rogan
The Ed Norton movie.
- MSMatt Serra
When he's running through the favelas in Brazil, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- 1:00:00 – 1:04:07
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
hard work, it's just hard work."
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I believe that, but man...
- MSMatt Serra
You have a state of mind too, like, mental... He believes it mentally, but you know-
- JRJoe Rogan
But it's just the amount of hard work is extraordinary to get to that level. And I think Dricus is kind of a, a similar thing.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah, that kind of guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think that dude works so hard that he can go out there and fight full blast, which is wh- it's weird to, when you watch him fight, like sometimes it doesn't look as clean.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah, he looks like he's mouth breathing...
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MSMatt Serra
But he just keeps the same pace.
- JRJoe Rogan
But that was part of, that was the earlier fights before he got his nose fixed.
- MSMatt Serra
Ah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So he got his nose fixed.
- MSMatt Serra
All right.
- JRJoe Rogan
So he could breathe out of his nose.
- MSMatt Serra
All right, well, makes sense.
- JRJoe Rogan
Changed everything, and then was, went on a tear after that, was, that's when he crushed Whittaker. Like, the Whittaker one was shocking.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause we all know how durable Whittaker is.
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
The Yoel Romero fights, like that guy's durable as fuck. To watch him just flatten him like that you're like, "Whoa."
- MSMatt Serra
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Hang on."
- MSMatt Serra
He's funny, he says, he goes, I don't, uh, he's like, "I don't have a, a great poker face." He goes, "People say I look tired 'cause I am tired."
Right.
"And when you get tired, you breathe out of your mouth more." And he goes, "But even if I am tired, I, I don't have a poker face, but I'm still coming forward."
Exactly.
"I'm still gonna..." So and he has, he's got, man, he's got confidence, he's beaming with confi- he's just that guy.
Yeah.
