The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (heaven by bobby womack plays) First of all, it's an-
Yes sir.
... it's an honor and a privilege. An honor and a privilege.
No, it's my privilege and it's my honor. This is-
This-
... pure motivation, Joe.
Very few human beings that have managed to do as many things as you have, and to do it as ... Y- y- you've been relevant for f- f- fucking decades, man. It's incredible.
Man, I work hard and I hardly know it.
I know you do.
(laughs)
You do.
But-
You know what the thing, the key to it all is, Joe? What?
Everything that I do and everything that I've done has been based around fun. So-
Mm-hmm.
... the fun element has always been the, the key factor, like it has never been money motivated, it's always been, "Man this is fun to do and I love doing it." And then it was so fun, that it ended up making me fun.
Hmm. Well you've made, you've managed to make a career out of being yourself.
Right.
That's where, that's where it's amazing.
Yeah, but that's the easiest job everybody got, just to wake up in the morning and do you.
Yeah, but so many people have a hard time doing that publicly.
Right, because it's so, it's so easy to want to be like something that's out there that feels like it's easier to do and it's more impressionable and it's a easy follow. When you wake up and do yourself, that's just the, the organic thing that you were built with that you know how to do in your sleep.
It's true, but it's this, it's hard for people to be themselves publicly, you know. They try so hard and they think about their image, they try so hard to, you know, cultivate something and ...
I, I know 'cause I've been around those kind of people that gotta hide and then all of a sudden, soon as the lights go off, then they wanna come hang out with you and let their hair down and they start explaining to you how they can't, they can't... "Man, I wish I could do what you do." You can do whatever you wanna do, you just-
Yeah.
... worried about what people are gonna say as opposed to the way you feel. I don't worry about what people say. Long as I feel good, I'ma keep doing it.
That's the way to do it. I think by your example many more people can learn. They could figure out a way to live their life authentically.
If it feel good to you, must be good for you.
