In this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Joe talks about his new book, "Joe Rogan's Next Big Breakup" and how it's going to change his life. He also talks about how Joey D is running out of breath all the time and how he could have killed someone if he had to do it in order to stay on top of his cardio. Also, he talks about why he doesn't want to get in a car with a drunk driver and how to get out of a car without getting into a car accident. And he tells a story about how he almost got into a fight with a guy who he thought was his best friend. It's a weird one, but it's a good one, and it's funny, so don't miss it!

00:00:28.000Some of them are very nice guys, but I have to say that for the purposes of this commercial.
00:00:32.000I don't even have to say it, I just did it.
00:00:34.000Audible.com is the best resource for audio entertainment on the internet.
00:00:40.000They have over 150,000 titles, audio books, and they also have this WhisperSync thing that you can use with the Kindle Fire HD. It's pretty dope, where you listen to...
00:00:53.000A audiobook and then it syncs up to your Kindle so that you can read up to a certain point and you get tired and you're like, but I want to finish this book.
00:01:04.000You can listen to it on the way to work.
00:03:02.000And if you do panic, if you get to a point you're like, fuck, I'm going to jail, they can connect you with an independent attorney if you need additional guidance.
00:03:09.000So if you get to a certain point and you're like, this just seems fucked, I can't, I'm too stupid for this, you bail.
00:06:04.000Is if you could put hair all around that bar so when you look at it, it looks like you're holding someone's hair and you're just fucking throwing it around.
00:06:11.000And the edge of it is like someone got decapitated.
00:11:26.000There's way more girls in those countries like...
00:11:28.000Brazil and Argentina are very similar in that there's way more girls than there is guys.
00:11:34.000In the beginning, when we first started training jiu-jitsu, the Machados, we'd hear all these stories about Brazil and we all thought jiu-jitsu was as big as soccer in Brazil based on what they were telling us.
00:11:45.000And they'd say, man, when you go to Brazil, 11 girls for every guy is incredible.
00:14:09.000That's very strange when you stop and think about it.
00:14:11.000You know, because I'm a person that believes totally in personal freedom.
00:14:16.000And I don't think there's anything wrong with someone being a prostitute, if they want to be a prostitute.
00:14:21.000If you are working at Denny's, serving people food for fucking $3 an hour, or someone says, hey, you can get a hundred bucks an hour, you can fuck a bunch of nice guys, you know, why not?
00:14:46.000Someone who doesn't want to touch you rubs on you for an hour and a half.
00:14:50.000But you're telling me that, first of all, we both know there are crazy girls out there that would probably love to blow a bunch of guys all day.
00:15:22.000Yeah, because you have to control the disease.
00:15:23.000With a back massage, you're not getting fucking AIDS. Isn't that crazy that you would think out of all the people on the planet, hookers would be the first to get AIDS, and they're not really getting AIDS? Isn't that crazy?
00:15:36.000I don't know if anybody's really checking on hookers.
00:16:06.000I use the phrase, I hate it when I'm too dumb to know who's stupid.
00:16:12.000I don't know if this one guy has it nailed and all these other doctors are out of their mind and they're all chasing a disease that doesn't exist.
00:16:38.000You know, the debate him and Callan had, I mean, it seemed at the very end of that, it seemed like as skeptical as Brian is, It seemed like at the very end, based on your podcast, it sounded like he was starting to sort of believe him.
00:18:05.000I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, but these people that say, you know, Duzerberger's responsible for all these people in Africa not taking their medication and all dying...
00:18:13.000His points about Africa were really fascinating.
00:18:16.000He was talking about how in Africa they say that everyone has AIDS, but they're not testing for HIV. They're assuming these people have AIDS because their immune system is trounced.
00:18:26.000But you're also dealing with people that are exposed to a wide variety of other disorders and diseases and They have terrible, terrible, terrible nutrition.
00:18:35.000And these people are not getting proper healthcare.
00:18:38.000And when you see they're sick, if they have AIDS, at least, that qualifies for them to have funds, for them to get funding.
00:18:46.000If you're dealing with an AIDS epidemic, you get money.
00:18:50.000You get money from charities for an AIDS epidemic.
00:18:52.000You don't get money based on the fact that people aren't eating right.
00:20:45.000I didn't know there was a real disease that did that.
00:20:48.000I used to joke about being at a strip club and peeing really hard because I was scared that the VD from the toilet was going to swing upriver into my dick.
00:21:59.000The smaller species are known for a tendency to invade, alleged tendency to invade parasites, and parasites, the human urethra.
00:22:09.000However, despite ethnological reports dating back to the late 19th century, the first documented case of the removal of the candiru from a human urethra did not occur until 1997. And even that incident has remained a matter of controversy.
00:22:45.000Earliest published reports of this Kendiru attacking human host comes from the German biologist CFP von Mardius in 1829, who never actually observed it, but rather was told about it by the natives of the area, including...
00:22:59.000That men would tie a ligature around their penis while going into the river to pretend this was happening.
00:23:05.000That meant dudes, they had cock rings on, they got busted, and they're like, no, no, no, there's a fish to fry up your dick.
00:23:12.000Dude, you sound like we're about to take a trip into the Amazon, and one dude's all into banging Amazon chicks, and you're like, dude, look at this, man.
00:32:36.000You weigh in right before you step on the mat, and if you weigh even a pound over, boom, you're gone.
00:32:42.000So Abu Dhabi, the sheik, he did the same thing.
00:32:47.000Not only is it same day weigh-ins, but you've got to weigh in the day before, the day of, and the next day if you make it to the third round.
00:32:58.000I was going to say, because it seems kind of dangerous if you just did it right before you went in, because some guys would still probably push themselves.
00:33:04.000It's risky, because you see these high-level grapplers every now and then.
00:33:07.000You see them gas, and they try to cut too much weight, and you don't have that much time to recover.
00:33:12.000So if you're going to do a same-day weigh-in, especially mat-side weigh-in, man, you just got to get in the best shape of your life and figure out what weight that is.
00:33:19.000You really can't cut, really, or you're going to pay for it.
00:35:23.000So wherever you're at, the next transition, you know...
00:35:27.000If you already have the guys back at that five-minute mark, they don't give you the points.
00:35:31.000You have to lose the back and then get it back.
00:35:33.000A lot of weird stuff that I didn't understand.
00:35:36.000But again, the point of this weird format is to make it better.
00:35:41.000So the Sheik is always trying to make it better.
00:35:44.000And the one thing I'm pretty sure he's got to change that losing a point...
00:35:52.000If you pull guard, because that changes a lot.
00:35:54.000We saw a lot of, not a lot, but a couple of the finals where both jiu-jitsu guys, world-class jiu-jitsu guys like Cobrina and Hoffa, some of the two best guys in the world, very good at submissions, amazing at passing, unbelievable, beautiful jiu-jitsu.
00:36:09.000What you had in their match is nobody wanted to pull guard because in the finals, you lose a point right away.
00:36:15.000They don't give you, it's not the first half, no points.
00:36:17.000What in that really does come from guys just having shitty guards.
00:36:20.000It comes from people not realizing how dangerous a guard is if a guy's a real bad motherfucker with it.
00:37:26.000Because the problem was we had Cobrina and Hoffa in the finals.
00:37:34.000They just tried to take each other down and they couldn't because they're not wrestlers.
00:37:38.000The wrestling is decent, you know, but according to dudes who know wrestling, like dudes who wrestled in college, they'll say they're at like a high school state champion level, you know, not D1. All-American Johnny Hendricks level,
00:37:56.000So what we end up getting is 20 minutes of two dudes who have okay wrestling, you know, like D5 wrestling, going at it, and we don't see any jiu-jitsu.
00:39:09.000But that doesn't make any sense to me.
00:39:10.000Yeah, the rules need revamping, and I'm...
00:39:15.000I'm quite positive that the Sheik is going to take that.
00:39:18.000Because what you end up having, if you don't lose a point for pulling guard, losing a point for pulling guard is like this.
00:39:24.000I use a football analogy when I'm trying to explain Jiu Jitsu to someone who doesn't know anything about Jiu Jitsu.
00:39:30.000Do you understand the rules of football and the strategy?
00:39:33.000Most Americans do, so it's just like football.
00:39:37.000Generally, a guy has a ball, and the team has the ball, and they're marching down the field, and then a team is defending, trying not to let them march down the field.
00:40:16.000You get on the top half, you're like at the 50-yard line.
00:40:19.000You pass the side control, you can score from side control, but it's a lot easier if you score from the back, so side control is like the 35-yard line.
00:42:59.000But when you're under this rule set, there's a lot of times in these matches where the submission wasn't even a thought, just the W. There were matches where there's like three minutes left, guy sat on his ass, he loses a point.
00:45:00.000A cinched darse, which people escape half the time, but if you cinch it all the way up, and as a referee, you should see if it's a near sub.
00:45:09.000If it's a cinched darse, a cinched triangle, a cinched arm triangle, a straightened out arm, like you straighten the guy's arm and he escaped by the skin of his teeth.
00:45:19.000You straightened out his leg like a knee bar.
00:45:24.000I wouldn't count heel hook and toe hold attempts because then they're so easy just to jump on and then it turns into just a bunch of I would count in my world, I would count straight knee bars, straight arm bars, anything cinched.
00:46:11.000Sweeps, you know, people recover from sweeps, but if someone has you that close to being tapped, like a cinched rear naked or something along those lines...
00:52:07.000A lot of them talk a lot of crap on each other, but Hickson, man, I don't know how many times I've heard people say, fuck that Gracie, like a Gracie saying, fuck that Gracie, or a Brazilian, or someone from the old school, like all the old school guys,
00:52:56.000But you gotta believe it, because everyone says the same thing.
00:52:58.000Even David Camarillo, when he went down there, and David Camarillo's a world-class black belt, he said he couldn't do anything with Hickson.
00:53:41.000Outside of a jiu-jitsu tournament, some IBJJF tournament in Dominguez State Hills here in California, me and John Jock, my master John Jock Machado, we were outside.
00:53:50.000He was basically giving me a sermon like he always does, and everything that comes out of his mouth is gospel, and everything's perfect.
00:54:00.000And we're walking outside, and Kron's 12 at this time.
00:54:04.000He's messing around on a skateboard, jumping up, doing these skateboard tricks, and John Jock looks over at him and says, That's the one right there.
00:54:42.000And Kron, he is now in a select group that, man, I don't know if there's more than three or four, but he submitted everybody in his weight division.
00:55:09.000Back then, everyone was having trouble with the submissions.
00:55:11.000A lot of the Gi champions were having a little trouble submitting dudes without the Gi.
00:55:15.000And the wrestlers, they didn't know how to pass the guard or submit anybody, but they could throw you around and you ain't taking them down.
00:55:20.000A lot of boring matches in the early Abu Dhabi.
00:55:22.000And that's why the sheet kept changing the rules, trying to work it all out.
00:55:26.000But then the next god who came and just submitted everybody in 2003 was Marcelo Garcia.
00:55:33.000He was the second coming of Jean-Jacques.
00:55:36.000First that was Jean-Jacques, Marcelo Garcia.
00:55:37.000And now, you know, there have been other guys that have...
00:55:40.000I've had a bunch of submissions in Abu Dhabi too.
00:55:43.000Hodger Gracie's done a tremendous job.
00:56:47.000He ended up doing the absolute, and the first round he went against Buchecha, who won the heavyweight division, who is considered the best new heavyweight.
01:02:15.000You've got to get really good at that.
01:02:17.000And you can go right to the back, or you could transition to a swim move to spiderweb, or if you can't shuck the arm over your head, you could transition right into rubber guard beautifully, or you could put the far side butterfly in and get some sweep, so it's a very, very strong position.
01:02:33.000The actual position, the whole style I call prison guard, but the actual position is called homie control, and homie control is the mission control of prison guard.
01:02:43.000So I play it all the time, all the time, and Watching Gary Tonin go to it over and over.
01:03:08.000I love with all these new dudes are just coming up out of nowhere.
01:03:11.000You know, that's one of the cool things about jujitsu is that there's so many guys out there practicing it now.
01:03:16.000I think someone, it's about time for someone to put it on TV. I think one of these days they're gonna figure out a format or the guy's gonna get talented enough or scary enough.
01:03:27.000Where you're going to be able to put it on TV, and it'll be something that could be on...
01:03:30.000I think about that all the time, and I've had invest...
01:03:53.000There's a few different ways you can go with submission-only, but the way...
01:03:56.000Everything in my mind was all designed to create urgency for the submission.
01:04:03.000Like, for example, the ultimate urgency would be a submission-only match between two guys and the winner gets $1 billion, the loser gets nothing.
01:04:59.000You know, now that Spike is starting to put Glory on, like the highest level kickboxing, they're putting that on TV. I think one of these days someone's going to realize that, watch like that Kron Gracie-Gary Tonin fight, that kind of a match is very exciting.
01:05:12.000Let's say that, okay, realistically, 50 years or whatever, jiu-jitsu is mainstream.
01:05:17.000You could do a show where there's a 16-man tournament, submission only, and the winner, one winner only, it's just like any kind of reality show, one winner gets $100,000.
01:06:46.000Well, yeah, all you'd have to do is just have guys who are really good, who are going for submissions and going after it, and it would be a really exciting sport.
01:06:53.000A lot more exciting than a lot of shit that is on TV. People just don't know about it.
01:07:00.000Someone like the Sheik, you know, could figure out how to do it.
01:07:04.000Yeah, you know, and there's a lot of people that look into jiu-jitsu and then they watch a match and go, fuck this, this is boring.
01:07:10.000The way the gi sport is turning into now, it's like I'm a black belt in the gi and I look at the new stuff, I don't even know who's on top.
01:07:30.000One of the things I want to ask you about Kron, he doesn't do any new shit.
01:07:34.000Like, everything he does is old-school jujitsu, old-school Hicks and Gracie style, the, you know, that real basic set of techniques and just, it just gets him laser sharp.
01:08:16.000And the way he's going to do that is keep staying away from him, not engage, slap him on the neck, push him away, frustrate him, because all Kron wants is submission.
01:09:22.000So I may be wrong, but it appears to be correct based on the reports I read that— Hickson was, at first, he was like telling the ref, he keeps going backwards.
01:12:25.000He's meditating in the fucking freezing icy rivers of Japan.
01:12:30.000He gets underwater up to his neck and he's...
01:12:33.000He's doing his meditation, practicing, and doing yoga where he does this weird shit with his stomach.
01:12:40.000It's cool when a guy like that exists, when there really is a bad motherfucker, like a real, mystical, sort of a shaman, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu master who's better than everybody else.
01:12:53.000And that reminds me of the most surreal moment of my Jiu Jitsu career, man, was at Abu Dhabi at the first weigh-in.
01:13:00.000Hickson comes up to me and says, hey, Eddie, how you doing?
01:13:33.000That's how he knew he was going to be a champion, the champion that he is.
01:13:37.000So Jean-Jacques brought Kron over to my gym maybe two weeks ago.
01:13:41.000And that was the first time I ever got to hang out with Kron and train with him.
01:13:45.000And it was pretty amazing to have Hickson's son there.
01:13:49.000Anytime I have a Gracie there with me that I could talk to, I always want to remind them that there's a big misconception about what 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is all about.
01:14:01.000To someone who really doesn't know and hasn't done the research, it's easy to kind of see or easy to believe that I turned my back on jujitsu once I got my black belt.
01:14:17.000Nobody understands this if they don't follow jujitsu, but there's two camps of jujitsu.
01:14:22.000There's people who train with a gi, this big bulky kimono thing.
01:14:26.000And there's no gi, which is mostly guys wear rash guards or shorts, and they're training basically techniques that would work in mixed martial arts.
01:14:33.000Because of the fact that the gi is this big piece of cloth, people grab it and hold onto it, and it really changes the entire nature of grappling.
01:14:44.000It changes everything because you have all these handles that you can hold onto.
01:15:17.000I got into jujitsu because of the UFC. I became a fanatic of the UFC. And jujitsu is the closest thing I could do to be kind of close to the sport and understand the sport without getting hit in the face.
01:15:43.000And you don't get hurt, no one's punching you.
01:15:45.000I was sold right when I saw the UFC. It was a way for me to be close to the UFC, the sport that I worship now.
01:15:53.000So when I see jujitsu black belts in the UFC, Great with the Gi, but all of a sudden they're fighting in the UFC without a Gi, and now they don't have their handles, and dudes are trying to punch them, and their elbows and all that stuff.
01:16:08.000To me, I thought the Gi was the problem.
01:16:10.000Jiu-Jitsu wasn't looking that good in the UFC, man, in those dark ages.
01:16:17.000Even today, overall, the jiu-jitsu, I think, could be a lot better if everyone focused on jiu-jitsu techniques that worked specifically when dudes are trying to punch you or elbow you and there's no handles.
01:16:31.000So anyways, I loved jiu-jitsu so much that I was tired of being in...
01:16:36.000Let down by never seeing, you rarely see sweeps in the UFC. You go to a jiu-jitsu class or a jiu-jitsu tournament where they're wearing a gi, you see sweeps and submissions off your back from the guard when you're on your back all the time.
01:16:49.000But why weren't you seeing it in the UFC? I go, you rarely see sweeps and even today when you see a good quality sweep, it's woo, it's a highlight reel.
01:16:59.000But in the gi, they happen all the time and submissions off the back happen all the time.
01:17:03.000The difference is, it's just common sense.
01:17:05.000In the gi, you don't have to worry about dudes elbowing you, and you've got all these handles, and you develop all these techniques based on pulling the collar and holding on the sleeve, and that becomes your fighting stance.
01:17:15.000If that's your fighting stance, and all of a sudden you do MMA, and the fighting stance is totally different, you're clinching now because you don't want to get knocked out.
01:18:01.000And when Kron came to my school two weeks ago, I made it clear to him, I'm like...
01:18:05.000I just want to let you know that I have all the respect in the world for the Gracies.
01:18:09.000Anybody that thinks I don't is ridiculous.
01:18:11.000In my first book that came out in 2005, it opens up with a paragraph or two on each Gracie and thanking them for creating me and creating the sport and the UFC. That's like 10 years ago.
01:18:24.000It's not anything that I'm trying to do damage control now or anything.
01:25:16.000And to have that kind of confidence to try to pass Maya's guard, most wrestlers will just say, okay, in this fight you get on top, don't even try to pass.
01:25:56.000Yeah, that was a big win for him because Maia was on the verge of a title shot.
01:26:00.000After the Rick Story fight, after beating John Fitch, John Fitch, John Fitch, and then beat Rick Story like that, a lot of people were like, Jesus Christ, this guy might be the best grappler in the division.
01:28:23.000Those dudes, they break their hand and keep punching you with it until it falls apart.
01:28:27.000He was throwing punches at Josh Barnett with a broken hand.
01:28:30.000You know, he's taking Josh Barnett up in the air with a broken hand, slamming him on the ground with, you know, his fucking bones are rattling against themselves inside of his hand.
01:28:42.000And he's not even a legit heavyweight.
01:28:45.000He wrestled at 206. I think he wrestled at 206. It was definitely light because he had to cut weight to do it, and that's why he lost his bid at the Olympics, because he had kidney failure.
01:29:09.000Yeah, one of my students had kidney stones, and since he went to the hospital and went through all the excruciating pain and me hearing the stories, he said, bro, drink cranberry juice, pure cranberry juice.
01:32:12.000He's the one who actually called it the Darce when it was named after the first guy he saw use it, Joe Darce.
01:32:20.000And I think his name is DRC. Mark Lehman is very similar to me as we like to name everything that doesn't have names and lots of jiu-jitsu moves didn't.
01:32:32.000There's a difference between the Mars, because the Mars is on your back, and that's how he used to do it.
01:32:37.000He said that was his thing, that his squeeze was so tight that he didn't need to be on top, and he liked rolling guys, and they didn't expect it, so he called it the Mars.
01:32:48.000I don't know if a guy named Freddy made it up.
01:32:51.000I don't know the story behind farce, but that's when you're kind of mounting the guy, and you have...
01:32:56.000You are mounting the guy, and you have a darse.
01:32:58.000So there's different variations of it, and the one that Tony...
01:33:02.000Trains at 10th Pana Costa Mesa all week, and every Thursday he comes up and trains with me, and that's the move you gotta watch when you're rolling with Tony.
01:33:20.000Well, that darts that he hit that dude with, he immediately scooted under him and then almost like an inverted crucifix, he ties his arm up with his legs from the bottom as he does it.
01:33:30.000You gotta have confidence in your squeeze to do that, man.
01:34:31.000I mean, it's truly amazing when you stop and consider the positions, the amount of different possibilities each position holds, and then different ways to submit people, and how they all flow together.
01:34:43.000If you've never done it before, it's hard to kind of understand it, and I know that's one of the things that I take a lot of time on when it comes to a ground battle in the UFC. I always make sure I try to explain what a guy's trying to do, where it becomes a problem, where he's going to,
01:34:59.000and people get a chance to see it more that way, but unless you train yourself, you'll never really truly understand.
01:35:54.000And you watch and you realize, oh my god, I had it all wrong.
01:35:58.000You expect that you're going to show up and there's going to be all these fucking douchebags killing each other and bleeding on each other.
01:36:05.000And you realize it's a bunch of nerds.
01:36:32.000If you're in a good school like Tenth Planet or like...
01:36:35.000There's so many good schools in L.A. and we get spoiled, but...
01:36:39.000Most places have to be good in order to stay open in this day and age because there's so much competition.
01:36:45.000There's amazing amounts of competition from jiu-jitsu.
01:36:47.000Our beginning classes, we kind of changed them up a little.
01:36:51.000Over the years, I realized that most people are a lot more scared of going to a jiu-jitsu class and checking it out and taking one class than I thought.
01:37:01.000They're way more scared than I thought.
01:37:16.000And then that leaves me with a small percentage of the population, which I consider, oh, you're my family.
01:37:22.000But in reality, if I change my beginner classes and make them more, cater more to the guys that want to do it, but they're just scared to death.
01:37:32.000They're scared to death of signing a contract.
01:37:34.000They're scared to death of getting hurt.
01:38:31.000They're afraid to lose this game of death because really that's why jiu-jitsu is so fascinating and such a beautiful thing because really it applies to life on the streets, saving your family, protecting your children, protecting your wife, your wife protecting your children, and back and forth your children knowing jiu-jitsu and protecting their father and son.
01:38:50.000You know, a whole family where everyone does jiu-jitsu, that increases your chances of survival in like some apocalyptic experience.
01:38:58.000Well, either way, it's a great way to exercise.
01:39:06.000Like, after we leave jiu-jitsu class, tell me...
01:39:09.000When are we more loose, relaxed, and silly than after jiu-jitsu meals?
01:39:14.000We've had some hilarious after-jiu-jitsu conversations where everybody's exhausted.
01:39:20.000You've been fighting for your life for the past hour and a half, and we're all just hanging out, chilling, and trying to kill each other just an hour before.
01:39:26.000It's like a virtual reality video game.
01:40:10.000The most likely outcome, if you give it a shot and you have an open mind and leave your ego at the door, is it's gonna change your life for the better.
01:40:18.000It's gonna give you, without a doubt, it's gonna be one of the best vehicles for developing your confidence that you can ever find.
01:40:29.000Think about women that you know that have gone to your schools, gone to different jiu-jitsu classes and gotten better at it, and then they become a more relaxed person.
01:43:07.000Generally, if you're a girl out there and you do jujitsu for solid, for one year solid, the chances of you getting raped go down significantly.
01:43:19.000It's very hard to rape a jujitsu girl.
01:43:23.000And it doesn't take that long to get good at it.
01:43:24.000Like I said, within two years, time flies.
01:43:26.000You could be doing it three years just like that and you're a badass.
01:43:28.000The last time I rolled with Felicia, I think I was a purple belt.
01:43:51.000They know how to keep getting away from anything that you're trying to do to them and putting themselves in a better position to defend, a better position to attack.
01:43:58.000That being many steps ahead of the person you're doing it with because they don't know what you're doing, gives someone a massive amount of confidence.
01:44:04.000And I've seen girls go into jujitsu class, start getting good, and then start tapping out guys.
01:44:09.000And when they start tapping out guys, it's a wild thing to watch.
01:44:13.000It's a wild thing to see the guy's face.
01:44:14.000It's a wild thing to see a girl cinch up.
01:44:17.000The first girl I ever saw tap a doodah was this girl Duncan used to roll with.
01:45:23.000There's a small percentage of people that get hurt doing jiu-jitsu and that scares them and they never want to come back.
01:45:29.000But generally, most of the people who do jiu-jitsu love it so much that the first thing they think of when they get hurt, they're pissed off because they're going to be out for six weeks or they're going to be out for three months.
01:46:37.000It was a soap that had all these antibiotics and chemicals that I didn't want to have nothing to do with it.
01:46:44.000It just sounded like that, but when I finally looked into it and found out that it was just eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil in high amounts.
01:46:52.000It's like three times the amount that you find in it.
01:47:24.000Well, healthy skin flora is something that people don't even think about, but, you know, I mean, that's what killed a lot of motherfuckers back in the day, when people got scratched, and, you know, they got some sort of infection, and, you know, they'd People used to die of infections all the time.
01:47:39.000That's like one of the biggest deaths, the biggest scary things about going to a hospital today is infections.
01:47:44.000And you can do a little bit to prevent that stuff by a healthy diet, eating a lot of probiotics.
01:47:50.000Even if you're a vegan, say if you only eat vegetables, you can still get probiotics in the form of sauerkraut.
01:47:56.000Sauerkraut, like natural raw sauerkraut, super good for you.
01:48:03.000Well, see, they shouldn't even really have kombucha, because kombucha is a fungus, and a fungus is actually closer to a person than a plant is.
01:48:13.000Funguses are actually closer to human beings than plants are.
01:48:16.000Funguses are actually much more like an animal than they are like a plant.
01:48:21.000So if you're a true vegan and you're eating kombucha, you're kind of a hypocrite.
01:48:26.000If you eat mushrooms, you're kind of a hypocrite too.
01:49:35.000The mushroom, the psilocybin mushroom that you see in tropical climates and you also, we see it in a lot of places now.
01:49:40.000The Pacific Northwest has a lot of them.
01:49:43.000That's a different experience and that's a much more accessible experience and it's a much more reliable experience.
01:49:48.000The Amanita muscaria oftentimes isn't even psychoactive.
01:49:51.000Like, they don't know what makes it psychoactive and what doesn't.
01:49:54.000There's all sorts of speculation that it could be genetically variable, it could be seasonally variable, it could be, you know, there's strains of it that grew in certain areas and they were super potent, but they don't exist anymore, or you have to find them.
01:50:07.000I've never had a good Amanita muscaria trip.
01:50:10.000I only had one to speak of that really blew it out, but we took psilocybin too.
01:50:18.000We took the Amanita for like an hour and it wasn't doing shit.
01:53:51.000It was enhanced and now New Mood has a bunch of different shit in it, like L-Tryptophan, which converts to 5-HTP. So it has like a time release effect.
01:53:59.000Well, it's better in that there's more than one mechanism for converting 5-HTP to serotonin.
01:54:04.000L-tryptophan converts to 5-HTP, which converts to serotonin.
01:54:08.000It gives you the building blocks to replenish your serotonin surprise after you do something like that, but also gives you The extra serotonin throughout your day, which picks your mood up.
01:54:19.000So much so, man, that they say for people who are taking SSRIs or antidepressants, they tell them not to take 5-HTP. Because Neil Brennan, you know Neil Brennan, the dude who met from the- Dave Chappelle's guy.
01:54:30.000He was on 5-HTP, but he was also taken in antidepressant.
01:54:34.000The doctor told him to lay off the 5-HTP because it would give him too much serotonin.
01:55:31.000And what happened is this gunman came into a nightclub, I believe it's at the Palms, and shot two guys.
01:55:38.000And he was just supposedly a guy that was at this club, and he tried to tackle the guy because the guy was pointing his gun to innocent people.
01:55:46.000So he was doing a hero thing, and then he got shot.
01:55:56.000No, no, his name is KD. His name's KD. KD. Oh, remember KD? Yeah, yeah, we talked about KD yesterday on the podcast, how hilarious she was.
01:57:06.000Yeah, they've been called toadstools forever, but they also, if you look up any old-school Christmas shit, all old-school Christmas cards, anything with elves, they all have mushrooms around them.
01:57:17.000And they have that mushroom, the Amanita muscaria mushroom.
01:57:20.000Isn't there a myth that if you lick a frog's ass, you get high?
01:57:29.000What they have is five MEO DMT in them.
01:57:32.000But what I'm saying is, I open up this baby book, there's a little bunny, Nicholas the Bunny, hiding under a toadstool, and then they show a mushroom and a frog on top of it, sitting down on it.
01:59:25.000B-U-F-O-T-E-N-I-N. There's a website that sold these frogs, and so I bought one, and I had it for like a month, and I was like, no, I'm not doing it.
02:00:28.000This frog, they're native to the Colorado River or Southern Arizona, California, and Northern New Mexico.
02:00:35.000Even though 5-A-M-A-O-D-M-T is classified as an unscheduled substance, which means it's legal to possess, But the venom also contains bufotinine, which is scheduled, so you can be in possession of an illegal substance,
02:01:34.000Yeah, but if you take that stuff and you smoke it, it's DMT. You will trip your fucking balls off if you smoke the shit that comes from that toad's skin, which is really kind of crazy.
02:01:44.000The difference between that and psilocybin is very similar.
02:01:49.000Psilocybin also is NN-dimethyltryptamine.
02:03:07.000Right now, there's billboards everywhere all over LA. There's a new show called Wonderland or something, and there's a guy and a girl that look in each other's eyes.
02:03:13.000In the background, all these mushrooms, red-topped, like those...
02:04:39.000And these motherfuckers, when you're in a shaman's hut and they're all eating Amanita muscaria mushrooms and having these tribal ceremonies, They would go outside to piss, and the caribou would literally knock them over to get to their piss.
02:04:53.000Because their piss had Amanita muscaria smell to it.
02:04:57.000Damn, Hamilton Morrison did it on Vice.
02:05:14.000There's another type of frog where you take the venom of the frog and you cut yourself and you take this toad's venom and you put it like directly into your skin and somehow or another by doing that by doing it I think they burn themselves like they burn themselves like with ash like an ember and then they put the frog like so it opens up the pores and they put the frog's venom right into them and they have this transcendent transcendent experience Is that Hamilton Morris?
02:06:46.000With mushrooms back in 2008, I did five grams, specifically five grams, weighed it, put it in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and went to the zoo.
02:06:56.000And that was a bad choice, bad decision.
02:07:05.000I went with the chick, and while we were checking out the gorillas is when it hit, And all we wanted to do is just sit in the shade, not look at the animals, close our eyes, and the visuals you get are just amazing.
02:07:17.000When people say, oh, that's in your head, you made that up.
02:07:43.000And so that these chemicals impact your visual cortex and create this incredible display because your body does not know how to process what's coming in.
02:08:37.000To me, in my opinion, something else is creating it.
02:08:41.000I don't know what it is, but something is creating that because there's no way I can create this amazing art.
02:08:47.000And it's perfect and perfectly symmetric and it's like snakes of just crazy.
02:08:54.000So after like five minutes of just sitting there at the zoo, we had like a fear and loathing in Las Vegas moment where we just had to get out.
02:09:02.000We ran to the parking lot and it's at the LA Zoo and we're looking at the mountains.
02:09:08.000I'm like, are you looking at the mountains?
02:09:38.000Whenever I've been on mushrooms, like when I was talking about the one where Doug and I took the Amanita Muscaria and then the Psilocybin, The feeling I got, and it didn't last very long because there was so many things going through our head, and it was the day of the Iraq war, the day the war started, so it was a pretty freaky moment.
02:09:54.000But I saw this honeycomb pattern in front of me, like where everything, I saw like the pattern of the universe, and it like occurred to me like, oh, this is here all the time.
02:10:43.000I was in a jungle and there was flowers and green moss and I'm driving through it and I could see the cars in the distance but just in my little cube, my little circle, I was in the forest.
02:10:54.000I can't believe you drove through that.
02:14:14.000I wonder if it has, like, the reason this is solid, I wonder, you know, because electromagnetic energy is running through everything, right?
02:14:20.000So that's, it seems like it must be powering everything.
02:14:24.000Like, where do we get our electricity?
02:14:25.000Like, we're plugged into the universe somehows.
02:14:28.000And according to science, we're just flooded with electromagnetic energy and it's just running through everything.
02:14:34.000So it seems like that's how we might be plugged in and that's what's giving us the power because it's not our muscles that are doing anything.
02:14:42.000It's the electric pulses that are doing it.
02:14:45.000That's where you're getting your strength from.
02:16:14.000The reality of quantum mechanics, this is what we absolutely know, is that particles can be in a state of superposition, which means they're moving and they're still at the same time.
02:17:03.000I think there's something way more to this world Then we're ever going to be able to wrap our heads around with what our crude minds and bodies can perceive of the reality that we exist in.
02:17:14.000I think we have this idea that the reality that we exist in, the measurable reality we exist in is all there is.
02:18:50.000You know, it might just be a law of the universe or, you know, instead of a law, like an equation, like, you know, positive and love and this and that, it moves towards this direction.
02:19:01.000Negative and horrible and evil moves towards that direction.
02:19:05.000And it's almost like the two need each other to do battle back and forth and to empower the other.
02:19:12.000You know, Esther Hicks says, you know, it makes sense.
02:19:14.000Like, you, we're here, who knows if this is true, this is just something that someone said that it seems pretty awesome to me, that it seems that we're here, we're existing, we're supposed to feel the pain, because if we don't feel the pain, we're not going to appreciate the good stuff,
02:19:51.000It's almost like we're here for the pain.
02:19:53.000Well, there's certainly reward systems built in, and it seems like if you look at all the animals on this planet at least, there's a struggle that's going on constantly.
02:20:42.000The greatest movies are the ones that take you down to the depths and you buy it.
02:20:48.000You suspend your disbelief and you're down there and then you come up with it and the story's believable and you lose yourself in the movie.
02:20:55.000But without the conflict, the movie sucks.
02:20:57.000Do you worry about that with your kid?
02:21:00.000Like, in a certain way I do with my kids, it's like, I don't want my kids to experience a lot of adversity.
02:21:05.000Just, you want to protect your children.
02:21:07.000But I know that all the people that I know that experience adversity are the most interesting people.
02:21:12.000You know, all the people that we know, think about all the people that we know.
02:21:37.000Do you think that you could get away with just exposing your kid to difficult things like jujitsu?
02:21:43.000Like exposing them to martial arts and maybe they could develop their character that way without having to go through the horrible ups and downs of...
02:21:53.000I don't know if jujitsu promotes or guarantees a great sense of humor and the ability to make other people laugh, but the one thing in my experience that I know that Jiu Jitsu does for children.
02:24:02.000Traveling all over the world like I do with all these seminars.
02:24:07.000I don't know how many times I've met kids, these jiu-jitsu phenoms that are eight, nine years old, and their dads bring them to jiu-jitsu, and their best friends, Avery, down in...
02:24:29.000Because you see it over and over again.
02:24:31.000So for those of you with kids out there, and maybe you're having trouble with the kids, try to talk them into jiu-jitsu.
02:24:37.000It might be hard, but I think that if you're having trouble with your kids, or you want to ensure a beautiful relationship, a tight relationship, a trusting relationship, a relationship where your kid wants to hang out with his pop, and you do jiu-jitsu too, you do it with your kid,
02:25:17.000And so when you're not tested, especially as a young person, Like, a lot of bullying comes from insecurity.
02:25:23.000And people say, like, what's the best way to stop bullying?
02:25:26.000I always say the best way to stop bullying is teach kids how to fight.
02:25:29.000If you had, like, mandatory jiu-jitsu classes, if you had mandatory martial arts classes in school, you would have a whole lot less bullying.
02:25:36.000Because, first of all, they wouldn't be inclined to do it, and second of all, it wouldn't work.
02:25:41.000Like, if a guy is talented and skilled and he's 155 pounds and there's an asshole that's 180 pounds that's fucking with him, he's not gonna back down.
02:25:48.000They're gonna figure out a way around it.
02:25:50.000The kid's gonna be able to figure out a way.
02:25:51.000Like, listen, you know, if you want to fucking fight, you want to be an asshole and pick on me, I have to fucking defend myself, then I'll defend myself.
02:25:57.000But it's not like he's gonna be terrified and not know what the fuck to do.
02:26:00.000It's gonna be a completely different scenario.
02:26:02.000And I think that one of the reasons why people do it in the first place is they're trying to They're trying to prove that they aren't scared themselves.
02:26:09.000The reason why people are bullies, why they have that instinct is they're insecure.
02:26:12.000They're trying to be dominant without, you know, without putting in the work.
02:26:16.000But if you put in the work, if you do jujitsu, if you learn a martial art, you actually develop some proficiency, you don't have that need.
02:26:22.000You don't have that need to dominate people.
02:27:18.000And it's a weird, natural human weakness.
02:27:20.000It's a weakness instinct to, like, shut the fuck up, bitch.
02:27:25.000Yeah, my shit was mostly because my parents were divorced and I was poor, I think, was the big why they picked on me.
02:27:32.000Did they pick on you because you were poor?
02:27:33.000Yeah, because I lived in Worthington, which is a higher-end place in Columbus, but I was living on that one part that was all apartments that shouldn't have been in there, but somehow I was in Worthington.
02:27:46.000So they knew I was poor, and my parents were divorced back then.
02:28:47.000On my mom's side, my mom's mother and father, they stayed together to the very end.
02:28:51.000They were married 50 plus years and had 10 kids.
02:28:54.000And my dad told me, first he told me at 14, I saw him at 14, then I saw him at 27. At 14, he tries to shove advice down my throat and he said, make sure you marry, when you marry your wife, she's at least 15 years younger than you.
02:33:03.000And he never did, but he had her in an apartment in downtown LA. And then after like three years, apparently I lived with him for three years, my mom just said enough's enough.
02:33:10.000She went back to Orange County, back to her parents' house.
02:34:11.000He just didn't really care that much about me.
02:34:14.000It's kind of weird because that's sort of like, if you look at nature, if you look at the programming of the human animal, that's like the programming.
02:34:23.000The programming is to spread your seed as much as possible.
02:34:25.000The programming is to have as many babies as you can.
02:34:28.000The program is not for the male to take care of them, though.
02:34:32.000You know, the program is to keep going, to keep spreading that seed, and that's one of the reasons why they say that, like, The intensity of attraction goes away within a few months of meeting someone, like the intensity when you first meet them.
02:34:48.000That intensity of attraction for a man goes away within the first five or six months because usually by then the woman's already pregnant in nature.
02:34:57.000You've been banging her, you know, every day for several months.
02:35:00.000One of the days, she's been ovulating.
02:35:03.000It ensured this intense bond, you know, initially to make sure that you continued having sex as much as possible to increase your odds of getting them pregnant.
02:35:11.000And then, all of a sudden, this weird thing kicks in where you want to go.
02:35:16.000Sometimes that kicks in as soon as you nut.
02:35:41.000Do you remember that when we worked on The Man Show, that sketch I wrote...
02:35:44.000For post-nut syndrome, it was a pill that you could take where you could have sex with a girl and not get post-nut syndrome if you take it 30 minutes before sex.
02:37:58.000You know what's crazy about my wife is before the kid, you know, once you're going out with a girl for a year or two years, you come home from jujitsu.
02:38:12.000I just went to war for an hour with guys from out of town trying to tap me.
02:38:18.000I come home, I'm going to drink a protein shake, I'm going to get on the internet a little bit, I'm just going to collapse and die, generally, after jujitsu.
02:38:27.000So, you know, for a while there, it's like, I have sex tomorrow, you just keep putting it off, and you don't have sex as much, and then when you have a kid, now you can only have sex when that baby's asleep.
02:38:43.000So now, I really can't have it that much.
02:39:13.000I would get pissed off and I'm like, man, I want a girl that wants to fuck anytime I want it.
02:39:18.000But then you have girls and I've had most girls where I wanted it more than I did.
02:39:24.000I was always the tired one and they always wanted it more.
02:39:26.000I get to the point where it's kind of bothersome.
02:39:29.000I'm like, damn, she wants it way too much.
02:39:31.000But now, looking back at all that and where I'm at now, looking back at that now, I would rather want it all the time and rarely get it Then always get it and rarely want it.
02:40:54.000I don't want to name any names or any seasons or anything, but apparently there's been some stuff on the Ultimate Fighter that happened behind the scenes that was so violent that they didn't even want to air it.
02:45:34.000When you start getting numb hands, and then we knew quite a few people that have had, like, real serious issues with their backs, where they have atrophy of their arms, and Boss Rutten has one arm that's, like, literally half the size of his other arm.
02:47:24.000That's important, but this is what the stuff is called.
02:47:27.000The term is called Regenokine, R-E-G-E-N-O-K-I-N-E. Orthokine is the actual medical procedure.
02:47:39.000They take your blood, extract it, they manipulate it somehow, then reintroduce it to the body as an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce chronic pain and arthritis.
02:47:50.000And the process involves two ounces of blood drawn from your arm and then it's incubated in a slightly raised temperature.
02:47:57.000The liquid is then placed in a centrifuge until its constituents' parts are separated.
02:48:02.000The middle yellowish layer is dense with agents that are believed to stop an arthritic agent known as interleukin-1, which causes degeneration of the joints and a breakdown of cartilage.
02:48:13.000That serum is injected into the patient's affected area The procedure reduces pain and discomfort to the joint, and the treatment generally lasts five days with six shots of the serum into the affected area.
02:48:24.000It's normal for a patient to receive annual injections to ease joint discomfort.
02:48:29.000So many pro athletes have done this and had miraculous recoveries.
02:48:33.000Peyton Manning went to Germany for this.
02:48:34.000He had two neck surgeries, and he was on his way out of football, and now he's a fucking superstar again.
02:48:39.000He's having the best year of his life.
