Joe Rogan on Mark Wahlberg's Dedication to Fitness

You know the Herschel Walker story? That he actually got jacked from doing push-ups and sit-ups and stuff in between commercials of shows you would watch? No. Yes. Dude, that's my brain. That's my brain. I love, I love nothing more than a punishment challenge, like a punitive, like, when we were doing that on the road, I was like, because Marky Mark and Dr. Wahlberg, Dr. Oz did their push-ups. I made a joke video going, those are bullshit push-ups. They were bullshit push-ups. Dude, I did fucking 60 of them. But why did they do that? Marky Mark is a stud. He could do a real... Marky Mark's push-ups were better than Dr. Oz's. Do you think it's bad if we call him Marky Mark? Definitely. I got nothing but respect for him. I got nothing but respect for him. I love that guy. He's a great actor. He's on a campaign right now. Like, he's nothing but in my news feed. About what? About just, I don't know, like a PR campaign. I don't know what he's, I don't know what he's doing. Well, it's probably all about him, you know, promoting a movie or something like that. Spencer for hires on Netflix. He's a very, very fucking inspirational guy. Dude, how fit he is. Boogie Nights is one of the best nights fucking ever. One of the best movies ever. He's got a lot of great movies. He legitimately has a lot of great movies. But like, as a human being, like when you look at like his dedication to fitness, he's not bullshitting. He really is up at five o'clock in the morning working out like a beast every day. He's the real deal. Yeah. He is, like I think if you had pivoted in just unacting, I think you guys have probably similar personalities. Like very like, dedicated. I've never met him. For real? Yeah, I've never met him. He was at a UFC once, but I was doing commentary and sometimes when celebrities are there, I look over, try to catch their eye, say hi. You know, I got a hug from Jeremy Renner. I was very excited. Really? I never met him. He came over and gave me a big hug. I was like, dude. He seems like a really cool guy. He's really cool. He's really cool. But yeah, Mark, Mark Wahlberg's pushups look legit. Like kind of legit. Look, he's a legit stud if you look at his workouts. I mean, that guy goes after it. You don't get built like that. I don't care what you're taking. You don't get built like that unless you work hard. Yeah. There's no magic pill. That's all hard work. Like whenever someone says, oh, yeah, the round test on some placement. That's wonderful. I'm sure that helps. It definitely helps. But you don't get built like that in unless you're working out hard. Dr. Oz's pushups are bullshit. Now, Mark's Mark's looks like tricep pushups. It's a little bullshit. It's a little bullshit. First of all, the right way to do a pushup, I'm not being a stickler, but legitimately for your own body. Dr. Oz is actually doing it better in that he has his elbows closer to his body. Follow me here. Like your hands in front of you and this. And this is a good motion for your shoulders. Yeah. A lot of people think that this is not a good motion, that this elbow out, it's a different thing. And maybe it might be better to do it the way Mark Wahlberg is where you're not going up all the way. Oh, I'm sorry. I got them confused. Dr. Oz is closer to us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Mark Wahlberg's doing it right. Mark Wahlberg's doing it right. That's right. I was like, what? I got them confused. And he lapped him in his polo sweats. Well, dude, Mark Wahlberg was doing them way better. I'm sorry. I said it the wrong way. I really thought that was Mark Wahlberg in front of us for some reason because Dr. Oz had his, why did I think that? This is strong weed. Obviously, the guy with the fucking hat and the gloves, why is Marky Mark having gloves on? Here, show my, see if you can pull up my pushups on my Instagram. Why do you have gloves on, though? I looked at these pushups. I was like, Dr. Oz, those aren't real fucking pushups. They're not. Neither one of them are doing real pushups. But Marky Mark, you know that Marky Mark can bang the fuck out of pushups. But he probably decided they're going for numbers and he can't lose to Dr. Oz by doing legit pushups or Dr. Oz doing those bullshit pushups. Oh, yeah. It's like a strategy. Here's the problem with, like, I love Mark Wahlberg. I love him on this podcast. But? He's not on the table the way he would be without cameras. Oh, yeah. Too brand friendly. I want the whole... Good. He's doing great. He's doing great, but I want to... Stay on a podcast. Don't do it. I'll talk to you off air. Yeah.
