Joey and I talk about how to stay clean for 29 days without smoking reefer, and how to lose weight while doing it. We also talk about the problems we had with eating after noon and how we dealt with them. Joey talks about his struggles with food and how he got over them, and we talk about some of the problems he's had with his diet, and what he's doing to try to get rid of them. Then we get into how he's losing weight now that he doesn't have to eat as much as he did in the past, and why he thinks it's a good idea to give up food for a while. We finish up the episode by talking about how we're going to do it for the rest of the year, and if it's possible to be clean for a full year without smoking for a whole year, why we should do it.

00:00:17.000If I fucking stayed clean from reefer for 29 days, I'd let my lungs fucking heal from the abuse I've inflicted on in the last 30 fucking years.
00:01:18.000The hunger issues after 11 o'clock were just monstrous.
00:01:23.000Like, here I am working hard to lose weight, I'd stick to it, and then I'd go home, I'd start with an apple, another apple, a banana, another banana, then you gotta bust out the salami sandwich.
00:01:34.000With the fucking, you know, it was just getting bad.
00:06:42.000Just make a comeback, just to see what it would be like.
00:06:46.000I'll tell you one thing that did happen last year, when we did Sober October and I took a month off, when I started back again, I'd get nervous.
00:08:16.000Yeah, I try to write about how lucky I am that I'm still performing at the store at 55. I write about that I ain't a bag of dicks, but I'll get them tomorrow night.
00:08:27.000Whatever just is flowing through my head while I have music on, I'm drinking a water, and I'm just, I'll go in the back and fucking toke a fucking 22 hits off a pipe.
00:08:38.000And I love listening to music at night.
00:10:08.000But I forced myself, and with the iPad, you know, there's a whole thing on, there's a whole writing thing, so I could just turn that chapter off and go to another document and click on to post Netflix material.
00:10:22.000And then I got a thing that we're working on, Immigrant Mentality, so I think about that, I'll go to that.
00:15:38.000She was worth $34 billion at one point.
00:15:41.000It was a blood testing company, and what it was was they just take a prick of your blood.
00:15:45.000Instead of taking a bunch of your blood, are you going to get your blood drawn?
00:15:49.000Her thing was like, let's just be able to take a prick of the blood, Just a little tiny prick like you can go to a store, get a prick of your blood, and they're going to be able to do a battery test on you and find out what's going on.
00:15:59.000The problem was it didn't fucking work!
00:16:01.000And they falsified all sorts of data and they lied to investors and all sorts of shit.
00:16:06.000This lady, she used to dress like Steve Jobs.
00:16:08.000She wore a black turtleneck and everything.
00:17:36.000He went to Israel to hide, to flee, but the most brilliant thing he did was, he took either, don't fucking check fact me on this, he took either his nephew, his son-in-law, somebody that he was related to through blood, put him through college,
00:17:53.000So he could get a job at the IRS. So they could figure out how to rob from the IRS. This is how fucking insane this guy was.
00:18:03.000I'm watching this diet and how they got Crazy Eddie.
00:18:07.000Crazy Eddie fled after he started just buying boxes.
00:18:12.000You know how you, remember years ago you'd be driving in New York and there was some guy selling stereo speakers?
00:21:53.000Like, if you watch the Stern show, there would be midgets shooting bottle rockets out of their assholes, and porn stars riding dildos, and it was chaos.
00:22:02.000There was plastic all over the ground because the girls would be squirting.
00:22:07.000Not that that's good or bad, but it was exciting.
00:22:11.000You're driving to work in the morning, you're hearing some girl freaking out because she's riding on that Sibian thing he'd make girls ride on.
00:29:44.000Upper echelons of money and power, blah, blah, blah.
00:29:48.000According to Forbes, the world's 15 wealthiest people are men.
00:29:52.000Women only make up 10% of the top 100. Separate wealthiest women in the world, most of their money comes from their male relatives or husbands.
00:30:12.000The first self-made woman on the list is, wow, I don't know how to say this woman's name, Z-H-O-U, that's one word, Q-U-N-F-E-I, Zhu Kunfi, who was born to a poor family in China,
00:30:27.000dropped out of school at 16. She went on to found an enormously successful technology company.
00:30:36.000But if you put men back into the equation, she's only 198th richest person in the world.
00:30:42.000No matter how you feel about the concept of few people hoarding enormous wealth, the notion that women can only access money and power through their families or husbands seems medieval at best.
00:30:52.000Yet we see it occur at the very top of many professions outside of the business world.
00:31:02.000Yeah, a recent high-profile example is Hillary Clinton.
00:31:06.000During her presidential campaign, the first female major party nominee, she campaigned on a ticket of empowerment, yet although she is accomplished in her own right, she entered politics as the wife of Bill Clinton and has undoubtedly benefited from his prestige and connections.
00:31:21.000Yeah, well, that's true, but she also was a lawyer.
00:31:26.000She was a lawyer and, you know, she was a senator.
00:31:29.000Now, Oprah's up there as the world's richest women, period, like, have made it on their own.
00:31:34.000That's a weird thing, because they're saying...
00:31:37.000I'm not a big fan of Hillary Clinton, but by saying, she definitely entered because she was, you know, she was married to him, but she was a lawyer.
00:32:24.000There's a lot of factors in when you were born.
00:32:27.000Like a lot of it, he goes on about hockey players, about professional hockey players, that almost all of them were born at a certain time so that they were at the end of the age cutoff.
00:32:38.000So like say if you're between 10 and 11 when you go into, what is that, 5th grade?
00:32:44.000If you're one of the oldest kids, you have a way better chance of being successful at hockey because your body's more mature than whether you're one of the youngest kids that goes into sixth grade.
00:32:56.000So whether you're fifth grade or sixth grade, what year you were born is a big factor.
00:33:02.000So the kids that were born later, so that they're older, rather, the kids that are older when they enter into the fifth grade or sixth grade, they're, like, across the board, unanimously, all the top-level professionals were all older kids in younger grades.
00:33:20.000So that they're playing against smaller kids, they get more time, they're better, so they get more coaching, they get more hours playing.
00:33:29.000There's a lot of factors in like one of the things about Bill Gates that there was it's a there's a whole great chapter on Bill Gates and about when Bill Gates was young the the school that he went to had a computer class that allowed him to do coding and then he got into the University of Washington they would let him get into their their computer room from 3 a.m.
00:33:52.000They had this open block so him and his friends would sneak into that place at three o'clock in the morning So all these different factors that lead to someone being super successful, it's not just that you work hard.
00:34:04.000It's sometimes you get these weird advantages in life.
00:36:27.000If it was a man, if the situation was reversed, and a guy was dating a girl, and they were dating for 12 years, and she was like, I'm tired of this, I'm gonna go fuck some new dude, and the guy took her to court, got money from her, and wanted money still, 14 years later, what kind of a fucking man would that be?
00:39:25.000Mick Jagger, 15 million, 25 million, he got off light.
00:39:29.000Bro, Mick Jagger, because remember, he fucking married in Jamaica, and it was like a Puerto Rican priest on his day off, so he knew it going in, because Mick Jagger ain't giving you dick.
00:41:31.000They didn't have those big LCDs where you could see them.
00:41:33.000Like, if you go see, say, Drake, and he's at a theater in a round, and you see his butt, you're going to see his face on giant screens all around you.
00:45:48.000First of all, all these bands that are going out, how about somebody called me the other day, and they're like, hey, man, I'm thinking of doing something New Year's Eve downtown.
00:46:00.000You know I hate New Year's Eve, and I hate downtown even more.
00:46:05.000Fucking Ozzy Osbourne's doing the Forum.
00:48:56.000Whether it's cheesy with three, when he gets beat up, and Apollo Creed takes him to the ghetto, and makes some looking brothers, and they teach him how to...
00:49:17.000Him and the other guy are fucking superb.
00:49:19.000But this now, like, and you look at it and you're like, like me and you at the store behind it, like you would say to me, really, Joe Diaz?
00:49:27.000He's going to fight the Russians, son.
00:49:29.000I could have wrote that idea on a fucking...
00:50:52.000Just a few years ago, he was in his fucking 60s, and he was boxing in one of those movies.
00:50:58.000He fought Antonio Tarver, Magic Man Tarver, who's a heavyweight champion, light heavyweight champion, knocked out Roy Jones Jr. Remember when he stood in front of Roy Jones?
00:51:07.000He'd go, got any excuses tonight, Roy?
00:52:51.000What they do in the tournaments, Kyokushin tournaments, they'd punch to the body full blast, but kick to the legs, the head, the body, and they'd stand right in front of each other and beat the fuck out of each other.
00:53:05.000Taekwondo was a lot of kicks and punches only to the body too, but Kyokushin, they threw leg kicks in there and there wasn't a lot of footwork with most of those guys.
00:53:17.000Most of those guys stood in front of each other and battered each other.
00:53:20.000But a lot of Kyokushin guys went on to be really successful in kickboxing.
00:53:25.000In fact, a lot of the Holland influence in kickboxing came from a Kyokushin background.
00:53:32.000Like, they started out with Kyokushin and kickboxing, and then they learned Thai techniques as well.
00:53:39.000But a lot of those guys had an influence of Kyokushin karate.
00:55:08.000You know, that's why I got, like, Gaston Volanos, who fights in Bellator, he's so high-level in Muay Thai, and now he's getting into MMA. He's fucking guys up, not just with sweeps, spinning elbows, all sorts of shit.
00:55:21.000His level of Muay Thai, like, Muay Thai involves a lot of grappling, a lot of weird stuff.
00:55:27.000I remember listening to Kenny Florian one time, and he goes that...
00:55:31.000You know, Muay Thai even has a couple aspects from Jiu Jitsu in it, I guess.
00:56:02.000When you learn the other aspects of wrestling, when you learn takedowns and control, and then when you learn jujitsu and all these other...
00:56:10.000Having that background from the clinch from Muay Thai is so gigantic because...
00:56:15.000So many different things open up from there.
00:59:48.000And that environment, that sort of environment of being around a bunch of drunk guys who were constantly one-upping each other, That's a sketchy fucking environment.
01:00:16.000And on Friday nights they get in the car and they drive it to like fucking Connecticut and tell her she had to suck all their dicks to get home.
01:00:23.000God knows where that poor girl is today.
01:00:25.000Last time I saw it was 1993 getting coke in a building in Harlem.
01:01:21.000And then you watch one of those movies about people being mean to people and you're like, oh yeah, I remember.
01:01:27.000Going around to get away from a guy that was picking on me, that was fucking with me, and you would be scared of running into him at the bus stop and scared of seeing him after school.
01:01:37.000That's how I got into martial arts in the first place.
01:02:04.000This is right after that movie was released.
01:02:06.000In 2017. Whenever that movie was released, a month later, two months later, a bunch of clowns in the California area got together downtown and picketed...
01:02:15.000Stephen King because they were losing work as clowns.
01:07:13.000To build imagination, that's why when you read Silence of the Lambs and you watch the movie, you got to get everybody in that room and give them a big hug.
01:07:24.000When you read William Blakely's The Exorcist, and then The Exorcist has been on for the last two weeks on AMC, and I've been watching bits and pieces of it, and I can't applaud it more.
01:07:35.000You know who's fucking great in that movie?
01:08:13.000So I went out to the living room and I turned the TV on just to be out there because I know she's going to want to watch cartoons or whatever.
01:08:20.000And I saw the exorcisms and I turned it on.
01:08:22.000And dog, it came on when the priest comes to the door, which if I ever bump into that director, I will take his dick out and suck it.
01:08:32.000Because that's what real directing is.
01:08:34.000He scared you without showing you anything.
01:08:37.000Remember, when the priest comes to the door, all you see is an image from the priest, and you don't see what his face looked like, and it scares you.
01:08:45.000But when he walks in, he takes this motherfucker...
01:08:48.000And the guy says to him, can I get you something?
01:09:34.000The five-year-old walks in, and she sits on my lap, and she's a Bible beater.
01:09:38.000I don't know if you know this, that Mercy's a Bible beater.
01:09:41.000She loves anything with God, and, you know, I got a little fucking thing she gave me with Jesus, a fish.
01:09:47.000Yeah, Mercy, my daughter, is a Bible beater.
01:09:49.000Even though she goes to fucking public school, she'll come home and tell me, they didn't talk about God today.
01:09:54.000So she's watching this whole manifestation of these two priests talking about God is powerful, God's gonna kill Satan, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and all of a sudden they walk into the room and she's sitting up and she's like...
01:10:11.000My daughter caught, it took her like 30 seconds to just look at me and she just ran out of the room.
01:10:18.000Like she doesn't know who Satan is, nothing.
01:10:58.000And while all this is going on, you have to remember that there's a murder going on.
01:11:04.000Because the first night when she came down, before the devil came in, some guy was talking shit, a Nazi was talking shit, a Jewish guy was talking shit about a Nazi or something.
01:11:13.000And she comes down and pees and says, you're going to die, motherfucker.
01:11:19.000Well, she said you're going to die up there to an astronaut, wasn't it?
01:11:39.000And then a couple nights later, they found the guy on the bottom of the stairs, but it couldn't have been a girl because they twisted his neck all the way around.
01:15:42.000They had limitations in what they could do with special effects, and so because of that, you had to accomplish much more, even with American Werewolf in London, right?
01:16:05.000The special effects, even though they were groundbreaking for the time, like when he's lying down on the floor and his body's stretching out, he's like, and he's turning into the wolf like that shit when his face is stretching out.
01:16:17.000I mean, those are groundbreaking special effects.
01:16:20.000Like, no one had ever seen anything like that.
01:17:12.000When I was doing that, I'm doing this fucking fitness channel, this fitness challenge with Ari and Bert and Tom, and I'm just watching anything I can on TV while I'm on the elliptical machine or the rower or whatever the fuck I'm doing, and I was watching one of the underworld movies,
01:17:28.000and I realized there's like 10 of them.
01:17:30.000I mean, how many fucking underworld world movies has there been?
01:18:30.000He's like, when you see, your brain can tell that's not real.
01:18:34.000Even if it looks really good, your brain can tell it's not real.
01:18:38.000He's like, if your brain sees special effects like makeup, like that kind of stuff, like a face that's been done with prosthetics and teeth and fangs, your brain says, oh, that's a real thing.
01:18:51.000That's a thing that's right in front of you.
01:18:53.000Yeah, look, these werewolves are so corny.
01:25:52.000And they eventually stopped doing that.
01:25:54.000And they put mystery and imagination in films.
01:25:57.000And then somewhere along the line, at least with modern blockbusters...
01:26:03.000If I had to guess, I would say part of the problem is there's so much money involved in these movies.
01:26:10.000If you're going to make a film and it's some gigantic thing with special effects and the studio is dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into it, they want a return on their money.
01:27:49.000But, look, these, like, fucking inspirational quotes you expect to see on some stripper's Instagram page, you're not supposed to be wearing those when you're Johnny Depp, okay?
01:31:06.000He had three in Colorado alone, like Crested Butte, Snowmass Village, and he had a house on the other side to ski over there because he liked two different types of powder.
01:31:22.000What's that world when people get that famous, when they get that rich, when they get that to the point where they live in some sort of weird la-la land?
01:31:37.000And part of my agreement was I had to drive at like 50 miles a month to keep, make sure, because when he came to town, he didn't want no problems with none of his houses.
01:34:47.000So I had to talk to them and they said, listen, for you to buy, we never do a face-to-face.
01:34:53.000So they have an Aspen Club and they have a place called to see if the Aspen Club is still, you know, in those days, these places were a thousand a month to walk in.
01:35:03.000And I knew a girl that used to go to the Aspen Club and she used to tell me she used to take showers right next to Barbie Benton.
01:35:54.000But you got access to the snow mask club.
01:35:57.000So basically, it was walking to the snowman's club, give the girl the $10,000, put on your gym clothes, workout, and by the time you got back to your locker, the coke was in the locker.
01:40:08.000In 1983, they couldn't fucking clean up New York.
01:40:12.000But I'll never forget that morning, waking up in Aspen like at 6.30 in Snowmass and going, they're not going to expect me until about 10. And I walked in there at 10 and people were like, where the fuck have you been?
01:40:49.000They throw down something because when you wash your car in Colorado, they push to do the underwater carriage, the prevention, because rust travels fast in Colorado.
01:41:00.000In Boston, too, that salt they put on the road.
01:41:04.000You'd buy old cars, and in the fenders, you know, in the back of the fenders, like in the corner, that's where the salt would pile up, and you'd always have rust there.
01:41:13.000You'd always have, like, these big pockets of rust in the corner.
01:41:37.000Get up in there, just sit there, and just rot away the metal.
01:41:41.000You've got to take the metal, buff it out, edge it out, and then you would have to spray Rust-Oleum on it.
01:41:47.000Because I would see the guys in Colorado, how they would fix the cars, and they would take like a missing bumper, cut it strategically, weld it in, and then you buff that in, you colored, you buffed, you kept putting primer on it, and that's how they got the rust out of all those cars in Colorado.
01:44:30.000That thing's not a regular, that thing's what's called a Restomod.
01:44:33.000So what that is is a 1965 Corvette, but it has a 2007 Corvette engine in it that's supercharged, and then it has an entirely modern suspension.
01:45:39.000Yeah, but those, you know, when you're making a car out of fiberglass.
01:45:43.000You know, it's pretty weird, just to go back to that lady that quit high school when she was 16, that she was one of the most wealthiest people in the world.
01:47:54.000It's so weird how many people over the years I've read.
01:47:57.000The only reason why I got my GED, let me tell you something.
01:48:00.000I refuse to get my GED. Because if I would have failed my GED, I would have killed myself.
01:48:06.000If you quit high school and then fail your GED, you're really doomed for life.
01:48:10.000I didn't even want to know about the GED thing.
01:48:13.000But when I got arrested, You gotta have a GED because you get an extra point to your sentence thing.
01:48:20.000Like this is a variable that adds to you not going to prison for that long.
01:48:25.000So if you get arrested and you don't have a GED and you're not working at the time of your arrest, this all counts towards your sentencing guidelines.
01:48:35.000So the only reason why I took that GED fucking thing, because I was petrified of taking it, Joe Rogan.
01:48:41.000Because once you fail your GED, there ain't no coming back.
01:48:43.000So I got a tattoo on my fingers, I fucking quit high school, and I fucking failed the first GED thing.
01:49:03.000But it's so weird how they put such a stress on it when I was growing up.
01:49:07.000And I know tons of kids that sophomore year said, my father owns a fucking mechanic garage or we have a fruit company or my father is in the stock market and he's getting me a job.
01:49:19.000And I know these kids today and they're doing fine.
01:49:21.000I just saw one in West Palm Beach that he was one of the first guys to quit school.
01:49:31.000Well, quitting an education, like quitting learning is what's really scary.
01:49:39.000The problem with school is school, like standardized education, right?
01:49:44.000The education that they would like you to get is you go through school, you get out of high school, you go to a good college, you get a degree, and then you go to graduate school.
01:53:24.000Some people's personalities, if they want to go somewhere where someone tells them what to do, they want to sit in a very safe, structured environment and do boring shit.
01:53:32.000There's a company in my town named APA, Anthony Imperatoro.
01:56:12.000But my point being that that was what I had in high school, that I could do shape-up work, and I could still make a living, and eventually somebody was going to hire me.
01:56:21.000I was going to work like a fucking mule, but I'd still be making, you know, $1,500 a week when you're in 1980, which wasn't bad.
01:57:28.000Comedy didn't come into my radar until a month before I went to prison.
01:57:34.000A month before I got locked up, a month before I got arrested for the crime, never mind prison, there was a salesman they hired, and we did not get along, me and him as a car salesman.
01:57:48.000He was American Indian, a piece of him was American Indian, and he even had that Charles Bronson look in his eyes.
01:57:54.000And one day, me and him got into a beef over a customer.
01:57:58.000He said the customer's was his and it was mine.
01:58:01.000And me and him banged it up face to face and they had to break us up.
01:58:05.000But about a week later, I was on the point.
01:58:07.000That means you're outside waiting for a customer to try to get a customer on point.
01:58:12.000And he came out and he goes, man, listen, I don't know what happened between us.
01:58:20.000If I was 25, he was about 40 something, 44, 45. And I had a fucking, you know, I was doing drugs, and I had the tough guy mentality, and I banged you.
01:58:33.000And I would never raise my hand to somebody old.
01:58:35.000I don't know why I went after him that day.
01:58:38.000But he came up to me, put out his hand, and he goes, listen, man, I don't know nothing about nothing.
01:58:42.000But he goes, you know what I was doing for the last 20 years, right?
01:58:45.000And I go, no, I don't know anything about it.
01:58:47.000He goes, I was the entertainment coordinator for a casino in Las Vegas.
01:58:53.000And he goes, I don't know, man, you make me fucking laugh.
01:58:56.000And I remember shaking his hand going, thank you.
02:01:16.000With comedy, no one knows that path other than people like you or I. People that have actually done that path and make a living doing it, we know it.
02:01:23.000But for everybody on the outside, it's like, what is that?
02:01:25.000And sometimes you need someone to come along and tell you, like the guy who you were working with.
02:01:31.000For me, it was my friend Steve, Dr. Steve Graham.
02:01:35.000He was my friend when I was, you know, he was telling me this when I was like 19, you know?
02:02:14.000Obviously, it was my life, so I was very intense about doing it.
02:02:17.000And I got used to speaking publicly in front of these large groups of people.
02:02:21.000But it was because I was speaking about something that I was good at.
02:02:24.000And then I would teach at Boston University, and when I would go there and teach the classes, I'd start off the classes, you know, and I basically said to them, listen, you take this class, try hard, you're going to get an A. It's pass-fail A. It actually counts for your GPA. So this is an easy A. I don't want you to be fucking Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan.
02:08:07.000Yeah, with men, there's a bunch of factors, but one of the factors is also the age of the father.
02:08:12.000That's why you see more autistic kids these days than before as people are putting off, they're having children, And having careers later, and there's complications.
02:08:22.000It's one of the theories as to why there's more autistic kids.
02:08:25.000Another theory is that there's not more autistic kids.
02:08:28.000We're just better at diagnosing what the issue is with children than we used to be before.
02:10:32.000And we landed at 6 in the morning, which is 3 L.A. time, which I'm never up past fucking 12.30 anymore.
02:10:39.000And I took a thing to the hotel, me and George Perez.
02:10:43.000You know, and for a couple minutes I was a little, like, look at my fucking life.
02:10:48.000I'm 55 and I'm fucking taking a red eye to do Cleveland.
02:10:51.000And when I got into the hotel room and I sat down and I sat at my computer, I'm like, how fucking lucky am I? I'm still doing spots at the fucking store.
02:11:01.000I'm still going out and doing weekends.
02:11:03.000I never dreamt of this past 48. And I'm 55 and headlining and having a great time and laughing my fucking balls off.
02:12:53.000Listen, man, I was thinking about this, how it's so weird that once every two years, I don't know what, Joe Rogan, I hate being this person sometimes.
02:18:07.000They're whittling away their budget, taking away their money.
02:18:11.000You know, they have to do personal appearance at Wild Wings and shit like that and fucking shoot t-shirts out of a cannon and all that nonsense.
02:29:06.000Yeah, but the problem with the kettlebell is that If you read that guy's book or anything about Pavlov, he says that the kettlebells, I don't even know if that's his name.
02:32:24.000If you do a lot of reps in one day, the problem is you're destroyed afterwards.
02:32:27.000But if you do the same amount of reps over the course of five days, just do shorter workouts and do many of them, you don't ever get destroyed.
02:40:16.000The most I've ever worked out is I did six and a half hours, and I got a thousand points.
02:40:22.000I did five and a half hours, I got 900 points, and then I did another hour just to sort of, like, at the end of the day, just to loosen everything up.
02:41:10.000Even though he's 2,000 points behind, he might try to murder himself over the next two days, get to 2,000 points, and then put another 1,000 in to beat me on the third day.
02:46:37.000And I look at my wife and I go, isn't that Bert?
02:46:41.000And it's a dude walking through the neighborhood just like Bert with a hat on.
02:46:45.000I put my pizza down and go out and I go, hey, cocksucker, I see that you're drinking because it looked like he had a six-pack or whatever holding it.
02:46:53.000And he turned around, waved at me, and kept walking.
02:49:01.000So you can do that, or you can be like Bert, and Bert barely gets to 70%, mostly stays in the 60% range, which is gray, and then 80%, which is, well, 60% It's like there's 50,
02:58:43.000You can avoid a host of ailments and conditions that are related to your body breaking down due to age with hormone replacement therapy.
02:58:54.000The key to doing it, though, is to do it correctly.
02:58:56.000You're supposed to go to a doctor that's going to test your blood levels, test your nutrient levels, and adjust your diet first.
02:59:02.000The first thing that happens is they want to find out how much you're sleeping, how stressed out you are, what are you eating, how much water are you drinking, are you getting the proper amount of protein and vegetables, are you eating correctly?
02:59:49.000You don't want to be in, like, some crazy Vitor Belfort when he got popped from, you know, Nevada and he was, like, some superhuman levels.
03:00:22.000The whole idea, well, there's a difference between, first of all, there's a big difference between someone who's competing in mixed martial arts.
03:00:29.000Obviously, you have to worry about your opponent getting hurt because of the fact that you're enhanced.
03:00:35.000And these are young guys that are doing this.
03:00:37.000When Nate was doing this, he was like 30 years old, right?
03:00:40.000When you're talking about just general health and wellness, testosterone replacement therapy, hormone replacement therapy, there's a reason why a lot of older guys, especially guys who can afford it, they have money, they're doing it, it makes you feel better.
03:02:25.000The thing about this kind of a competition that we're doing, though, we're not doing anything that you need massive amounts of testosterone.
03:08:07.000It's funny that they were talking when your mother was visiting, and you and I were talking about Italians that they can't eat pasta after they're 50, that they lose their mind.
03:08:16.000You know, as you get older, you lose things.
03:13:02.000No, but I felt like, and not to try to be cute, it's funny when you see Rhonda get kicked, and she was sitting there for the first three minutes.
03:13:11.000She was upset about the kick, but you're also upset about the training.
03:13:15.000You see all the holes in your training where you've made mistakes, little mistakes you've made.
03:13:19.000Even two weeks ago when Connor went down for a couple minutes, he was just sitting there.
03:13:24.000He's not thinking about the $30 million he made.
03:14:02.000That's the benefit of doing these things.
03:14:07.000The benefit of doing these specials is you grow.
03:14:10.000You abandon all the material, and then you're forced to regroup, and you're forced to look at the material and look at your set, see what you don't like.
03:14:17.000Some people never do that, Joey, and they never grow because of that.
03:14:20.000It's just, but the growth I've had since June 4th, I feel like Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway together.
