Eddie Bravo Remembers the First Time He Got Joe Rogan High

Eddie, remember when I had a buckle handle tear? You had to drive me to the fucking doctor to get an MRI? He drove my NSX. He had an NSX like half. What are you doing? You know how to do that, man. He was eating his crud. Check this out. Check this out. Where at? Where did your knee go out in Jiu-jitsu? His knee goes out in jocks. His knee goes out in Jiu-jitsu. It gets fucked up. So he couldn't drive. He drove his NSX. A little sports car. It's a little stick ship. I could drive a stick ship. Bro, this is 1998, son. But I drove stick ship in a while. You know what I mean? Because when you're poor, stick ship means you're poor. And in the Mexican hood, once you get your automatic, you're like, fuck, I got an automatic. Yeah, I told him you got to release yourself from the bounds of those ideas. Oh, yes. So now it turns out rich white people like stick ship. And I'm like, damn, how do I like it? Car enthusiasts. You son of a bitch. This is rich white people. Why you got to get racist? So once I got into automatics, I'm like, fuck. You know, I got beyond the stick ship. Now he's got like a high performance stick show. NSX. His knees fucked up. I got to drive him to the doctor, dude. I've never seen this motherfucker so mad. He was so mad at me. He was so his knees fucked up. He's sitting shotgun. I'm like grinding the cloth. You're grinding the cloth like, dude, what are you doing? You knew how to drive a stick shift. Dude, you know, people play. They know how to play pool. Dude, I drove a stick ship for years. Dude, I drove a stick ship for years. All my cars were stick ship. That was the 1998 NSX is the easiest car to shift ever. You understand as far as shifting cars go. No, you have to understand. Like I have to speak out as a car. I mean, I think this was 98. I think it was 98 somewhere around there. Maybe 2000 at the latest 2000 though. Those years NSX were a marvel. Oh, one of the best cars of all time. You were so connected when you put it, when you put that motherfucker in reverse or any gear, I wish you still had it. The feeling, I should probably get another one. The feel of the clutch was magical. And this motherfucker was just. And I know that the only reason we remember this. It wasn't the grinding. It was the anger, dude. His knee, he was so pissed off because it's neat. He was already in like a pissed off stage. He was already like, my fucking knee. And I'm fucking his car. We're going to my dude. What the fuck are you doing? I was having a hard time. And it was pissing him off. And you know what? Another great story about NSX. It was when I finally, after six months of getting in his ear about smoking weed, I was like trying to convince him to smoke weed. I'm like, he's so funny. He's so funny without weed. I go, if I could get him to smoke weed. Cause everybody thought I was crazy for smoking weed. So back in the day. And then I finally convinced him we were in his NSX. He pulls over and he goes, okay, fucking pull it out. I'm like, not right now. I had a mad back. I had a man bag with weed. He goes, pull it out. I go, dude, no, no. Very two gate things. I finally convinced them. I finally convinced them to smoke weed. Finally. But it was while we were driving. It took six months. He pulls over and goes, pull it out. That's a shit right now. And he pulled it out. And he says, fuck. It's gonna be a cartoon for sure. I'm gonna be pulling. Holy dude, here he goes. Let's ruin all this shit. The crazy thing is, I'm like, I told him, I didn't drive for six months. When I started smoking weed, I wouldn't drive. I was too scared. He goes, dude, let's just do it. I'm like, you're gonna get brain damage. He smoked it. And I go, shit, we gotta go to fucking Baskin Robbins. He's gotta feel that shit. Cause this is it. I finally convinced them to do it. So let's go to, is there an ice cream place? There's a Baskin Robbins down on Topanga. I go, let's fuck. We made a beef line. I got his eyes, you know that first time. And you never stopped after that. That was it. That was it? And then check this out. Every day. No, no, he doesn't remember, but there was some ups and downs. But that night, that night, that night, we went to Baskin Robbins. He had a fucking hot fudge sundae. And we went to the comedy store and he got on stage. The first night he smoked weed. And this joke, I'll never forget. He goes, dude, I got high for the first time today. And damn, I didn't realize hot fudge sundaes were so fucking good. The crowd go nuts? Yeah, he did away. When I got high, I butchered. It was definitely not how I said it.
