Joe Rogan & David Goggins - Listening to Music While Working Out is Cheating

I mean I've been up I got a couple helluva's under my belt man I know how to stay up for 130 hours and move yeah, and I know how to self motivate a lot of motherfuckers I don't know how to self motivate man like we like to put the headphones on yeah like before the big game and listen to the music Yeah What the fuck did you do when the headphones come off bro? There's you and your own mind right? I know how to do that That's that's the hard part remember listen to music when you run never never told you James. She is that video I got But you might have seen it well. I talks about like running with music and no what did you say? I find it find the video will play it. I might not be able to play it we get is it somebody else's content I actually um, but I did during my last pull-up record. I Listen to you know that song for Rocky won round 14 When Rocky gets knocked down the corner I listen to that two minutes and 13 seconds long I listen to a repeat for 17 hours Merry Christmas motherfucker Merry Christmas man 17 hours man. I went to such the dark dark evil. I have a picture my hand the book I Was in a dark. I went to I went to a place man that I'm like I can do anything here We got to live here for a while Cuz I kept on feeling that record like I don't want to see a pull-up bargain I mean like I did 67,000 pull us man like this is my third I'm like I can't I don't want to see no pull up something. I'm doing this come hell or high water man So I broke it out. It's just a bit. Let me hear this. Let me hear this place So I never trained with music There's a reason why I don't do that the music's not gonna always be there the TV the distractions I'm in the gym right now and all this live music people needed to get fired up They needed to stay motivated they need to stay in the fight they needed to just go in the gym Do whatever they're gonna do what do you do? We have no external motivation? eternal Yourself how you gonna fire yourself up with that flame inside of you that keeps you going Let that keep going about this And When you're doing this the whole time you're doing this you're doing some of the hardest chin-ups you can do you got a chain Around your neck right the post folks that are just listening and you're pulling down on ropes You're doing chin-ups on it looks like taped up ropes. Yes, sir. That's what it is. Yeah, those are grip Yeah, that's like jujitsu guys do a lot of those yes I was I spoke to the University of Alabama and they were in there, you know most you know most these athletes man They got to get hype so that music is blaring. Yeah, I'm like man what that shit comes off and you get popped in your fucking mouth Your headphones are on the sidelines brother What's gonna happen? Yeah, we can say to yourself then so that's that's how I trained my mind man I I train my mic. I'm gonna get popped in my mouth, man I'm gonna get popped in the back of an alley one day man running around doing what I do and There's gonna be no music yeah, you better fight you never figured out I told you Jamie's cheating I was telling but when I first started running people said you run with music and I know run and it's cheating when you have music On it's cheating you're cheating you listen to music, but now I listen to music all the time But more than I listen to music I listen to books. Yeah books on tape Audiobooks and yours is like I said has been the last two weeks has been my running partner. I appreciate that man Phenomenal man, it's phenomenal and you're doing this kind of independently right? Yeah, so what I did man is I pissed off a lot of people I was um I So in 2012 I got an offer for my book for $30,000. I said you can go fuck yourself You know what Hill I went through brother So then everybody was like, you know, we don't see a market for a black guy ultra-runner fat guy who couldn't read like You know 15% of America's black, you know, I won't see me fucking you know people buying your book They think only black people will buy your book. There's some people out there man. Everybody that follows me is white Like three black followers man Yeah, he's like he's like an unusual species out there man like and so I'm sitting walking around going man You don't even know who like everybody talked to his wife Like, you know, it's the ignorance of the world and I'm in these meetings here in this kind of stuff. So now 2018 I get a $300,000 offer for a first-time author so I'm sitting back, you know, I'm like my god, man You know, I used to make like fucking $60,000 a year, you know, this is the biggest payday yet That's what I think I took that one second I talked about the one-second decision a lot about what I went through my life what I've done and I was like You know what? I struggled so hard in my life I went through so much that the biggest trophy I own now is that book The biggest trophy I own now, it's not the book itself. It's what's in the book Mmm, it's what like I don't give a fuck if that sells one copy Honest to God man, like like my what I did and that's what I hope people understand your life in the journey you put yourself through There's nothing more than that. And that's all I want people to do is realize that you have to struggle You have to struggle the bigger the struggle the bigger the peace the bigger the suffering the more peace
