00:02:04.000But if you go online, there's plenty of different workouts that you can follow along.
00:02:08.000One of the coolest things about the internet, if you have questions about something, there's a lot of generous people out there that will give you their time for free and show you cool shit like this.
00:02:15.000But battle ropes is a great exercise for functional strength and cardio.
00:02:21.000If you're into striking or grappling, either one of them, you can benefit pretty substantially from a good kettlebell and battle rope workout.
00:02:30.000We also sell supplements, all kinds of shit.
00:02:33.000We call ourselves a human optimization website because we basically sell you all the shit that actually works as far as making different areas of your body work better, like Shroom Tech Sport, which is a great supplement for endurance.
00:02:49.000It's based on the Cordyceps mushroom, a lot of vitamin B12 in there.
00:02:53.000New Mood, which is based on 5-HTP supplements.
00:02:57.0005-HTP and L-Tryptophan, which converts to 5-HTP. All those supplements.
00:08:50.000Because when you play baseball, and you have to be vocal, supporting your teammates, and you're in the dugout quite a bit, and you just come up with funny stuff.
00:10:59.000There's been a bunch of things over the years where guys have done various things in the octagon that were illegal to make things more slippery.
00:14:38.000You think it will evolve into different rules or different?
00:14:41.000No, it's always going to be really primal because that's what What its appeal is.
00:14:45.000And in this watered-down society where everything's nerfed and the whole world is fucking sanitary, there's one sport where shit gets real.
00:14:54.000Two dudes who are pushing themselves for five minutes per round.
00:14:57.000And in a championship match, you're talking about 25 minutes of Ferocity and kinetic energy and just thinking and sweat and blood and injuries and gutting through things and trying to overcome.
00:16:03.000Then stay for a few innings and then go home.
00:16:05.000Well, it seems like your sense of humor actually was kind of developed from the camaraderie of hanging out with guys that you were playing with.
00:16:13.000So that makes sense that you would enjoy that camaraderie.
00:16:24.000That camaraderie of teammates working out together, hanging out together.
00:16:29.000People who've never experienced that sort of environment, they don't really totally understand it, do they?
00:16:35.000I would think not, only because, yeah, I got to play baseball.
00:16:40.000First of all, at Arizona State, we're flying around.
00:16:44.000We had to be professionals and represent a university.
00:16:48.000And then, yeah, going off to play in the summertime up to Alaska, and you're up there, and you're...
00:16:54.000Meeting guys from different schools, and yeah, you're traveling, you're sharing hotel rooms, and a lot of those experiences, yeah, and then the locker room stuff, and the parties, and the jokes on the bus, and yeah, getting in trouble as a team,
00:17:19.000Yeah, I think that that's something that everybody could use.
00:17:21.000I think that's one of the benefits of competing in a sport, is that you go and you hang out with a bunch of people that are also doing the same thing, and you learn together.
00:17:29.000You know, I think that's missing from a lot of people, man.
00:17:31.000I think that's missing from a lot of people that never get involved in sports.
00:17:34.000Yeah, I would, after my freshman year, I would always, because I wasn't a top guy, so I didn't get the instruction.
00:17:44.000From the coaches, like the top recruits.
00:17:46.000So I would go to the other pitchers, the senior pitchers, and I'd say, can you guys help me out a little bit with my mechanics?
00:17:52.000And there's a big window where you can look in and work on your throwing mechanics.
00:19:26.000They throw over the top and they're an okay pitcher, but they figured out to throw sidearm and that puts different action on the ball and some guys, yeah, can't do that or don't want to do that or...
00:19:37.000You don't have to show baseball games.
00:19:38.000That's Brody pitching at Arizona State.
00:21:31.000When it comes to high school and college sports, young athletes often yearn for bigger muscles to enhance their performance.
00:21:36.000But for student baseball pitchers, strength isn't so much of a goal as it is speed, throwing speed.
00:21:41.000And now student athletes looking for a way to get extra boost in their pitching arm have been putting their hopes in an elective surgery called the ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction, more famously known as Tommy John surgery.
00:22:07.000Thank you for bringing that up, and I know this is a Joe Rogan experience, and you're going to learn stuff, and I learned that.
00:22:14.000If you're asking me right now, 2013, is there a major leaguer?
00:22:21.000That has, electively, like one of these kids in high school, and we know we have a problem with high schools and parents and the pressure of all that.
00:22:33.000Currently, or within the past year or two, who has electively gone, non-injury, electively taken that surgery and continued to be in the major leagues and maybe improved.
00:23:15.000If you have the ligament and it's chronic, it's not necessarily torn, it's worn down, it's off the bone, you're probably going to need the surgery.
00:23:27.000And the reason why these guys come back stronger, it's not because the ligament is stronger.
00:23:33.000I mean, that may have something to do with it, but a lot of people also think it's the training.
00:23:38.000Because you hurt your elbow, you're going to have to really go extra and out of the way to make sure that elbow is strong.
00:23:46.000So when you're doing the rehab, you're reaching into the ice, you're doing all...
00:23:50.000The ultrasound on your elbow, the exercises.
00:23:55.000And that's another reason why people come back stronger.
00:23:58.000And I do think that, yeah, it doesn't make you bionic, but a lot of guys have come back for that surgery and have thrown harder and have continued their career.
00:24:10.000I think it's yet to be known if a guy who elects to do it in high school or college, it's going to make him throw harder.
00:24:18.000If they're hurting and they got it, I understand.
00:24:21.000If they're having chronic pains in their elbow and their mechanics are such where it's not going to get better, it's only going to get worse.
00:24:28.000So you better adjust your mechanics, and on top of that, yeah, let's get the Tommy John surgery and see what happens.
00:24:34.000Well, I think the surgery has been proven to have a significant effect on the mechanics of your arm.
00:25:03.000Most guys come back fully strength, back to normal, a year and a half to two years.
00:25:09.000It puts more strength in your elbow, and the risks are that sometimes after their elbow gets reconstructed or just they add this additional ligament, it becomes permanently stiff.
00:25:21.000And their muscles tear or they can have something called iatrogenic, physician-induced problems with their elbows because of the surgery.
00:26:58.000And he saw that my ligament was intact, and he stapled it back down to the bone, and he tightened me up.
00:27:05.000That wasn't the Tommy John surgery, but...
00:27:09.000A lot of people agree with you, apparently, also about the rehabilitation, that that's really what's helping them, and that it's not necessarily the throwing harder.
00:27:18.000It's not necessarily the ligament, but that it might just be the rehabilitation, the emphasis that you put into rehabilitation.
00:28:57.000Derek Rose, I don't know if you follow basketball, he blew out his left knee.
00:29:02.000He's on the Bulls, and he's a $100 million player.
00:29:07.000And he blew out his knee, I guess his left, one of his knees, and he took a year off, and people gave him a hard time because people do come back, actually, after nine or ten months with an ACL. And he didn't come back.
00:29:19.000And then he came back this year and he was playing and he did the same thing to his other knee.
00:29:34.000That was way back in July of 2012. So Dominick Cruz has been rehabbing all this time, sitting on the sidelines, even before then, because they had to come up with an interim title back then.
00:29:46.000The poor guy's been out for two whole years.
00:29:52.000And with him, it's very important because his style, he's probably got the most elaborate footwork style in all of MMA. The dude is tireless.
00:30:01.000And he goes five rounds of constant moving.
00:30:04.000It's one of the problems with fighting him.
00:32:39.000I don't even know if you have to get a doctor's prescription because what it does is it stimulates your body's own production of HDH using a certain combination of amino acids and minerals.
00:32:49.000And you can definitely stimulate the growth of it with amino acids.
00:32:53.000That's pretty much been proven that you could raise your levels significantly where you could see it will show up several percent.
00:33:00.000And you would get benefit out of that.
00:34:10.000What's the difference between you taking and you recovering quicker and a guy who might have the same levels as you and doesn't take anything?
00:34:17.000And when you're training all the time, your body gets beaten down.
00:34:21.000And your body has naturally low levels because you're pushing it to the limit.
00:34:24.000You're trying to get your body to respond.
00:34:26.000You have to make sure you sleep 10 hours, 12 hours a night.
00:34:28.000You gotta make sure you drink shitloads of water.
00:34:31.000You gotta make sure your nutrition is on point, super clean.
00:34:34.000And if you do all those things, you can maximize your hormone levels naturally if you're a young, healthy man.
00:34:39.000But if you don't do that, if you don't get the right sleep, if you're stressed out, if you don't eat right, if you overtrain, you can easily show low levels.
00:34:47.000You go to a doctor and the doctor says, well, you've got low testosterone, son.
00:34:50.000We're going to give you a testosterone use exemption and you'll be better than ever.
00:35:01.000Because there's a lot of testosterone supplements that you can take that are natural, over-the-counter stuff.
00:35:07.000There's a lot of different ingredients in testosterone boosters that have been showed to have fairly significant increases in your body's ability to produce testosterone.
00:35:52.000Why should you be able to take vitamin B12 and you can't take testosterone?
00:35:56.000Why should you be able to take testosterone if you can't take some synthetic thing that someone creates that turns you into a fucking super freak?
00:36:02.000The real question becomes, where do we draw the line as far as how much- Too much!
00:39:15.000Like I said, I gave myself that 72 hours because the premiere of the show was coming out.
00:39:22.000And I knew, I'm not even talking about whatever comes next regarding the show.
00:39:28.000Okay, when you say you gave yourself 72 hours, we're going way back to the earlier conversation when you're talking about your hat and your wacky attire.
00:42:37.000Those people who don't understand comics.
00:42:39.000That relieves stress for me, and I think that relieving of stress has kind of carried over to maybe our relationship here today and other things I've done and hopefully to be doing.
00:45:42.000I mean, I would say that would be brilliant if that's the case, but if it's not the case, she's just another asshole boss.
00:45:49.000You know, being a boss of a group of men is probably really frustrating anyway.
00:45:54.000If you're a woman, you know, especially if any of them are like average men, they're dickheads that don't want to listen to a woman, it's probably a disaster.
00:46:42.000So she can shit on you, ruin your life, ruin your day, call you a penis at work, do whatever the fuck she wants to do, and you have no recourse.
00:49:38.000She's bringing Hell's Angels into the office to intimidate the employees and frequently inquires about the location of a handgun and 750 rounds of ammunition.
00:52:54.000One of the most exciting things about life is when you're trying to do something and you don't know if it's going to happen.
00:52:59.000You don't know if it's going to work out.
00:53:01.000One of the most exciting things in life is trying to figure out how to make this so.
00:53:05.000Because even if you have confidence...
00:53:07.000Boy, how much confidence do you really have if it hasn't happened yet?
00:53:10.000You know, you might have real confidence, but it doesn't feel like a reality until all of a sudden, here, Brody, here's your check for doing stand-up comedy.
00:53:18.000And you're like, I'm a professional now, like legitimately.
00:53:21.000And then, here, Brody, you're on Comedy Central now.
00:53:23.000I'm on Comedy Central now, like legitimately.
00:53:48.000It's one of the coolest things about life.
00:53:50.000If you can find more of those things that you could fit in your life where you're not really sure if it's going to work out, the more of those you could fit in, the better.
00:54:28.000No, tell me, did you start in Arizona?
00:54:31.000No, I actually, I mean, I took an acting class at Arizona State because I was around baseball so much, which it is kind of a jock world, and, you know, that's cool.
00:54:42.000But then when I had some extra credits, I took an acting class.
00:54:46.000Yeah, people said, hey, Brody, you're funny.
00:55:31.000And then when I came back to Los Angeles, I didn't want to get into baseball.
00:55:34.000I just didn't want to be a coach or anything like that.
00:55:38.000And I took one of those comedy classes just to see if I was into just structure to see if I liked it.
00:55:45.000So I was living out in Tarzana and I would drive to UCLA every Tuesday or Wednesday just to do a two or three minute spot and I was excited about doing it.
00:55:54.000It was like, okay, I think it's in me.
00:58:33.000The significance of the club itself, being on stage at a club and getting seen, is not nearly as much as it used to be.
00:58:39.000What's more important now is the internet, is the fact that guys get famous from Philly, they get famous from New York, they get famous from everywhere.
00:58:48.000You don't have to be in front of a specific group of people who can decide whether or not to put you on television.
01:00:56.000I mean, it was a big story that spread, and I remember I talked about it on the radio once, and the guy said he didn't censor comedians, and he invited me to come down to the club, but I never wound up doing it.
01:01:11.000So you would say to a comedian today in 2013, here, say, in Los Angeles, somebody comes up to you and goes, Joe, I'm a stand-up, I'm doing open mics here in L.A. You know, he wants to be a stand-up.
01:01:42.000That's retarded on their behalf, because that was one of the greatest things about the comedy store, is how much emphasis they put into developing talent.
01:01:48.000I mean, very few clubs have two nights of open mic nights.
01:02:14.000No, I think guys have made it out of L.A. a lot more over the last 10 years than you'd imagine.
01:02:18.000A lot of guys started out in L.A. A lot of guys started their stand-up career doing open mics in L.A. and then went on to have legit careers like Ari does.
01:02:27.000Ari started it all in L.A. He's a legit stand-up guy.
01:03:41.000So I think there's spots there where you can play those, you know, the self-promoting rooms, and you have to build up and get a buzz going.
01:03:50.000And then come out and play some more rooms.
01:12:48.000Fucking amazing podcast by Dan Carlin, a hardcore history podcast on Martin Luther and the Anabaptists and all these people that...
01:12:58.000It was back in the time where they first learned how to interpret the Bible and put it in a form that was phonetic, where a regular person could read it.
01:13:08.000Because apparently, before the 1500s, you really couldn't read the Bible.
01:13:12.000You had to learn about it from a priest.
01:13:14.000And if you were one of those rare people that spoke Latin and read Latin...
01:13:18.000Then you could read it, but I mean, it wasn't like available to the public.
01:19:13.000I heard rumors online, but since I love Brody like a brother, since we are brothers in the art of stand-up comedy, since we are old-school comedy store brethren, we're old-school, bro.
01:19:52.000And the crowd was just about fucking done.
01:19:54.000They had seen a couple of scrubs before you.
01:19:56.000A couple people went on before you that just didn't fucking, just couldn't pull it off.
01:20:01.000You know, there's a totally different energy in those late night audiences.
01:20:06.000But all those sets that you had done at the comedy store where you beat on the drums on the chairs, Brody would bring chairs on stage and drumsticks and pound on the chairs and just change the energy of the audience.
01:20:19.000Make it like this thing where you could feel the energy again.
01:20:22.000You took your shirt off and you started swinging it over your head and you were like cheerleading in the crowd.
01:20:40.000I had played drumsticks on the metal railings.
01:20:46.000Yeah, you know, I just try to have fun, and the improv is a good place for me to open up, and, you know, you read a room sometimes, and you gotta pick it up.
01:20:56.000Sometimes you're gonna sacrifice your jokes, but then it's like, depends, like, when you're hosting or whatever, but that was a fun set.
01:21:51.000I guarantee you the amount of people that download that Ice House Chronicles where you brought this up, they're going to go through the roof.
01:22:05.000You go to an area where they have all these different bars, and they have the get-togethers, the ping-pong balls, the young Vietnamese girls who will sit next to you for a Coca-Cola, that kind of thing.
01:23:07.000Like girls, but you can tell like maybe some are guys, I guess, but it was one of these ladyboy bars and we're hanging out there having fun and they'll, you know, they will touch you.
01:24:36.000Growing up in Tarzana, I got picked on a lot.
01:24:39.000Are you saying that someone can make you homosexual by, if they picked on you enough, 3% would be 100%?
01:24:46.000No, 3% wouldn't make it 100, but if somebody is a child, you're in third grade, and there's a group of girls or even guys who go, oh, look at Brody, how he walks.
01:25:28.000If they're saying it, if enough people are saying, Brody, if I saw myself walk, if I sat and I saw myself walk, I would think, this guy walks a little gay.
01:26:24.000Oh, I'm going to adjust your anterior posture, your C7. They'll throw some terms at you that are completely unnecessary and very verbose and long, and then they'll crack your neck real quick.
01:27:54.000They would park in front of the comedy store and argue with comedians.
01:27:57.000I remember Ari Shapiro got in this huge argument with them because they started quoting the Bible and they were saying shit that's not in there.
01:30:07.000Can you imagine if we found out that clothes like that give you powers?
01:30:10.000If you wear a certain cloak, there's a certain material that you wear that allows you to read people's minds, see the contents of a person's soul, Brody Stevens.
01:32:35.000As far as behavior and appearance and maybe even sex, you might enjoy certain aspects of sex more with a transsexual than you would an angry, overweight, cigarette-smoking woman who's got a head like a frying pan.
01:34:14.000You could have probably got a nice young one.
01:34:15.000I think that would be a different thing.
01:34:18.000I think also there's the feeling of exploitation that comes with having a...
01:34:23.000Having a sexual experience with a prostitute that's a female that you don't get if it's a prostitute that's a male.
01:34:29.000If you go to a female prostitute, there's this thing where if you think about the concept of prostitution, you think that women are being exploited.
01:34:39.000That's one of the main negative aspects of prostitution.
01:34:42.000And then also, as a father, you start thinking, well, why are there prostitutes?
01:34:46.000Most likely because they didn't have a good family structure.
01:34:49.000They didn't have a good father figure.
01:35:02.000But when you think about a woman, most likely you're thinking about someone being sexually manipulated and someone being taken advantage of and objectified.
01:36:23.000I don't think that any one of us can tell someone what they feel inside their body.
01:36:28.000And I've talked to way too many people that say that they know that they should have been a man or they know that they should have been a woman.
01:36:34.000If that's the case, if they're saying that, you...
01:37:01.000And I think one day they're going to be able to do something where they give these people some sort of a genetic manipulation.
01:37:08.000And they're going to literally turn them into double X chromosome women.
01:37:12.000And I think that's the beginning of the ability to manipulate the human genome, the ability to change a person's DNA. But until then, what do they have?
01:37:23.000They have surgery, and they have hormonal treatments.
01:37:28.000But if you had to choose between a guy who did that, a male, born male, who did that and became a really sexy transgender, or a disgusting, angry woman who hates men.
01:37:43.000Disgusting, angry woman that hates men.
01:37:52.000There's only three people on the planet.
01:37:53.000You, the angry fucking project that you're going to try to turn into a lady with her big, giant, stinky feet or a really beautiful ladyboy.
01:39:09.000So, if and when, obviously I'm talking about on the podcast, and let's say this topic does appear on my show, this Ladyboy 10% issue, am I going to receive a lot of heat on it?
01:41:03.000And the transgender does a dance for this guy, and then she puts whipped cream on her nipples, and the guy sucks the whipped cream off her tits.
01:42:51.000But is it a cultural choice, or is it a genetic thing where there's a great percentage of people that feel like they should have been a woman?
01:42:59.000I think there's something about genetics.
01:43:01.000I don't know if Asians or the Thai people are more apt to having that gene.
01:43:07.000I would wonder if there's some stats for that as far as women-to-men transgenders, like Buck Angel.
01:43:13.000I wonder if there's some stats that show what countries have more transgender women-to-men.
01:52:03.000I just touched with no stimulation at all.
01:52:07.000It's like that thing that you do when you're lucid dreaming.
01:52:10.000The way you practice lucid dreaming is by walking around your house, and every time you get to a doorknob or doorway, you knock on the doorway, am I dreaming?
01:52:19.000And if you're not dreaming, you feel it.
01:58:39.000If you feel stubble on your balls and your balls are clean shaven, it probably is a stimulator.
01:58:43.000I guarantee you there's at least 10 comedians that have gone down to Brazil and had their penis sucked by a transvestite.
01:58:50.000Every time you try to rationalize what you've done by comparing yourself to the acts of others that are also ridiculous, you get another 10% gay.
02:02:35.000If it was a dude who looked like Don Barris, and he had a full beard, and he was sucking your dick, that would be a completely different experience.
02:03:38.000Say if there's no god that made the universe, there's no universal power that controls this, there's no laws that guide the universe to an ever-expanding degree of complexity.
02:03:49.000If there's none of that, if there's no higher power...
02:04:21.000The fact that every fucking galaxy has a supermassive black hole inside of it that's one half of one percent of the mass of the entire galaxy.
02:04:29.000The bigger the black hole, the bigger the galaxy.
02:05:09.000The fact that it exists, the fact that we're on a podcast and we can broadcast...
02:05:14.000Instantly, worldwide, the fact that we have laptops that are a fucking inch thin and contain gigabytes of data, the fact that you can buy beer and you don't have to fucking go get a wood barrel together like an asshole, like one of those moonshiner shitheads, and brew your own booze.
02:07:45.000We can show the New Testament being created by Constantine and all these bishops.
02:07:49.000It's been proven that there were certain pieces of religious work that was left out of that.
02:07:56.000They made decisions as to what to put in the Bible, what to leave out of the Bible.
02:08:01.000It's been shown that there's been a metamorphosis of the Christian religion from the jump.
02:08:06.000There's a difference between the original ancient Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls, which is the oldest version of the Bible by like a thousand years.
02:08:15.000And I think the only one that was written in Aramaic.
02:08:18.000So you've got the ancient Hebrew version of the Bible.
02:08:21.000You've got the translations from ancient Hebrew to Latin and to Greek.
02:08:27.000There's so many different things going on.
02:08:30.000There's so many different things going on when you talk about religion.
02:08:33.000What you're talking about is what man wrote down.
02:08:36.000That doesn't necessarily mean there's no God.
02:08:41.000I think the universe is so vast and puzzling that to really decide that you know how it all started and you know what's going on behind the scenes, you have to be a fool.
02:08:53.000I don't think our idea of a God is like a person with superpowers.
02:09:49.000L-A-T-E-R-A-L-U-S. But he used the Fibonacci sequence to make this song.
02:09:58.000The Fibonacci sequence is, it's like 0, and then 1, and then 2, and then 3, and then 2 plus 3 is 5, and then 5 plus 3 is 8. And it's this exponentially expanding series of numbers.
02:10:14.000And the idea is that this coding, these...
02:10:19.000The golden section of the golden string, as it were, as it's described, is like the secret to life itself.
02:10:27.000That life itself is this weird, fractal, mathematical proposition.
02:10:31.000And that you see it in all these different things, like the Nautilus shells, and all these different various fruits and vegetables that have these bizarre shapes to them.
02:10:39.000And that this is all the Fibonacci sequence.
02:10:41.000This is all the actual underlying code of life itself.
02:10:46.000The fact that these items are not random, the fact that these things like sunflower seeds are all governed by this mathematical program, almost shows that there's something going on behind the scenes that we can't quite describe.
02:10:59.000And in fact, there was a quantum physicist that came up with this theory that life itself, that in the lowest measurable levels of the universe itself, In the theories, these quantum theories that these guys are creating,
02:11:15.000they're finding self-correcting computer code, a very specific type of computer code that was created in the 1930s by human beings.
02:11:23.000And people are looking at it as the possibility, by seeing all this stuff, the possibility that reality itself is an artificial creation that we're living in.
02:19:24.000And it wouldn't even have to be clean and sober, but he would have to straighten his act out enough to get his health together.
02:19:29.000Because what happened with Kinison is, if you go back to Kinison's first CD, which is Louder Than Hell, it wasn't even actually on CD, it was on cassette.
02:20:40.000And he talked about doing this gigantic line of coke and almost having a heart attack.
02:20:44.000He used to do jokes about the fact that people expected him to be this mad party animal.
02:20:51.000And the act itself took a backseat to the lifestyle.
02:20:56.000The act itself took a backseat to the chaos.
02:20:59.000Like, a lot of comics go, they fluctuate, like you'll like one special better, and then, you know, the next one maybe you won't like at all, and then the next one will be even better.
02:21:09.000You know, like, there's guys that I really love, but I only love, like, even Prior.
02:21:13.000There's some of his ones that I don't enjoy as much as other ones.
02:21:21.000You know, they go up and they go down depending on how much attention they're putting to the act, depending on how much other stuff they're doing on the side.
02:23:18.000There's maybe 10,000 people there or so.
02:23:20.000But the acoustics weren't all that great, and the acts weren't having all that much fun based, I think, off the acoustics, maybe a little bit of the crowd.
02:24:40.000Yeah, maybe it attracted that kind of crowd that's going to yell out stuff and like, bring up Chappelle, forget about Flight of the Conchords, we're drunk, it's Thursday night, it's Hartford.
02:26:43.000I either would watch Chappelle take the stage from the side of the stage, or I would watch him from the audience take the stage and probably...
02:26:53.000You know, 13 out of 16 times I saw that.
02:29:54.000Whenever it's on TV, I watch the Glory promotions.
02:29:57.000Glory is this new organization that's on Spike TV. Fucking incredible, man.
02:30:02.000The highest level kickboxers in the world.
02:30:04.000And they're all fighting on Spike TV. And they've got this big organization called Glory.
02:30:08.000So it's developing all this new talent.
02:30:10.000And it's also getting people really excited about kickboxing.
02:30:13.000Sort of the same way they got excited about MMA. And I think that...
02:30:17.000Whether it's that or whether it's wrestling or jujitsu or kickboxing, what I get out of that is when you're watching the best guys in the world do something, whatever the fuck it is, especially when it's something as dangerous as combat sports, you get a charge out of watching people perform and compete.
02:31:12.000And that helps you have a better empathy for these guys.
02:31:19.000Yeah, well, I think I've always had empathy and sympathy or tried to relate.
02:31:23.000You know, I've never fought mixed martial arts before, but I had a lot of Taekwondo matches, and I had a lot of kickboxing, or had a few kickboxing matches, but a lot of time kickboxing, a lot of time sparring, a lot of years invested in martial arts and in martial arts competition.
02:31:37.000So I kind of have a sense, without doing it, of what it means to these guys.
02:33:27.000You're okay doing this, like palm to palm.
02:33:31.000There's a deviation in the way you have to grapple anyway between straight grappling with no gloves on and MMA because of the size of the gloves itself.
02:34:19.000But when Vitor fought in the UFC when he was 19 years old in Dothan, Alabama, UFC 12, he wore those gloves and no one else had ever seen those fucking gloves before.
02:37:34.000Yeah, the word reality show because of the Kardashians and all these fucking pawn shows and all this nonsense where you know they're bullshitting you.
02:38:39.000He's going to talk about all the shit that he went through at Marineland and training a walrus, and apparently he's going to tell us some disturbing shit.
