Joe Rogan - Sober October 2 Has Started!

Dude it seemed like we just did this. It does feel like pretty recent. How was it a year ago? I don't know. I don't know. It's already October. I'm scared. Let's just fucking spark up a joint bit right now. What? No! These fat blunts. One of them backwoods. Smell one of these backwoods. These are so good. Just smell it. Just smell it. Whoa. Yeah. You know everyone was commenting on your blunt rolling technique after the Elon Musk thing. Well I don't roll them. I know they were like, I knew that and they were like, oh what is he? He just he can barely roll a blunt. I was like, it's professionally rolled. It's a pretty good bunt. You can't read the comments. That does smell good. That smells so good. They taste good too. Those are phenomenal. I'm a blunt man. I know it's probably bad for your lungs, but there's something about the tobacco gets you a little high up and then the marijuana sort of like spreads you out and it puts you in like a new dimension. Yeah, that's a good one. I'm gonna get blitz grieved after Halloween kids. Oh yeah. Imagine how high you'll get to after 30 days. Last year I did comedy. I had no idea what I was talking about. While I was on stage, I was like, oh my god, there's 400 people in this room. I don't even know what I'm saying. I almost thought of bringing in all my marijuana and booze in here like a, like Wyatt, like in the old west when you had to turn in your guns and just dump them on the table because I have so much marijuana. It's ridiculous. I know it's crazy. I keep a bunch. We got the stack of whiskey over there and then we got another cabinet full in the back. Yeah. You can get fucked up hard for here in this place. We're going to get ripped on the day. Yeah. The day back. Yeah. Remember when we did the podcast on the day back? Yeah. Those were, those were fun shit. Those are so much more fun when he's high. Scary and grumpy when he's sober. He's such a grouchy dog. He gets like legit angry. Like he could joke around about anything when he's high, when he smokes weed. But then when he's not smoking weed, you're like, wait, wait, wait. Are you fucking serious? He gets upset. Do you remember when you texted the three of you like, Ari, I don't think you're doing the right classes. Do you remember the meltdown? I said, I think you're going to have to do them again. Obviously I'm fucking joking around. You told me a liar. You said I'm a liar. I love you. He called you, right? He called you upset. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He was upset. I don't remember if we texted or called, but I go, Ari, I love you. I'm just joking. I'm sure you do. One thing about Ari is this is one thing that you could say after all the welting talking, all the nonsense Ari has rock solid ethics. Yeah. Yeah. Rock solid. Yes, he does. Like if Ari says he's going to do something, he does it like, so if I'm fucking with him and saying, I don't think he doing it. Yeah. Like I don't really mean it. Right. Right. You're just kind of, you're poking at him. Right. So if you're out there, Ari, and you hear this, I'm only fucking around. I know you're doing it. He came talking you for the next 31 days. He came to act. He came to our class for that last one. He was like, this is so much easier than my class. Can't believe you questioned how hard my class, the one that we didn't see. No. Yes. He was like, this is so easy compared to what I've been doing in New York. Look, it's all easy. If you go easy, I guess. Yeah. It's all how you do it. If you, if you do hot yoga and you go 100% every pose, yeah, it's fucking hard to share. Doesn't matter who's teaching. Yeah. It's hard. But there's this guy that I go to yoga with. Is that vodka? Yeah. For sure. It's water. 100%. I have a drinking problem, legit drinking. It needs water. Okay. There's this guy that I go to yoga with, who is, he's, it seems like he just doesn't ever go 100%. He sort of just kind of like, you know, you put your arms above your head. He always does this. He's never doing this fully stretched out, extended his palms connected. When you do that, it's hard. If you just kind of half ass every pose and do this, yeah, you can get through a 90 minute class. You're not doing the same thing as if you do, if you do any, if you're going to like a group training class somewhere, you can see people and there's like that 63 year old lady who's like doing it with you. She's on her knees. She's like, this is hard. And talking at a normal rate. You're like, you're not, you're not doing it. I got in trouble with my CrossFit class because I was just getting pissed. I was throwing up every day. I was throwing up every single day. I was also drinking a coffee right before it started. So I was throwing up coffee every single day. And one day I just snapped. I go, Hey, the black guy's not doing his burpees. The black guy. That's what they said, Joe. That's what they said. They go, Hey man, we don't talk like that. He's got a name. I go, I don't know it, but I'm pointing to him. He's not doing his burpees. And then the joke I made out of it was, Hey, Wendell, the gay guy says, I can't call you the black guy, but you're not doing your fucking burpees. I like doing it about CrossFit. I like the idea that we're doing this in a general heart rate sense. Yeah. Because you can sprinkle it in. I want to go to a spin class. You definitely can. And by the way, that is how, if you want to like get a real bump in those points, it's about a bump in heart, like sustained accelerated heart rate. So a spin class is going to get you a bunch. That, that, you know what I mean? It's not like Joe, I don't know if you know this, he's like a way better athlete than you, but it doesn't mean that we put a pin in that. It doesn't mean that he'll automatically beat us because he's in better physical condition. You can actually beat them if you're going to push it all the time. What is it in your brain that makes you do that? Cause like we just looked at your MEPs and you're, you burned a thousand calories. Is there some sort of, I talked to Pat McAfee one time. He said it's about explosivity. It's about rape and murder. My head's filled with it. Stopping rapists and stopping murderers and killing child molesters. That's what I think about killing bad people when you work out. Yeah. That's what I do when I get tired. If I get tired, I think about like saving someone I care about. I think about stopping someone who's trying to murder someone I love. That's what I think about. I love your face. I'm not kidding. I think about my second wife. I think about protecting people I care about. Can you tell me one time, you'll, if it's hard, you'll go, uh, pretending someone's trying to kill me. Yeah. Yeah. So you're like pretending. Yeah. I don't have words for that. That's what you got to do. Cause that's, that's what, if you think about worst case scenario, you're tired and someone's trying to kill someone you care about and you don't have enough energy to stop them. But do you think you learned that switch in like, uh, Taiwan or not. Tae Kwon Doa. Yeah. I learned it from martial arts for sure. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's the scariest place you could ever be. Like the scariest place you could be is life and death. So like just putting yourself in, Oh, I just want to lose weight. Okay. Good. Yeah. That's good. But that's not, you're not going to save yourself. Like you got, you got to put yourself in like animalistic fury. That's how you got it. You got to put yourself, you got to put yourself in this state of just 100% effort. Yeah. I was pegged at like 180, 177 beats per minute for the last 35, 35 minutes. That's really, that's really right. It's got to do it. See, you know, that David Goggins guy got in my head with, uh, just embrace the suck. Yeah. I can, I can get there where I go and just break it. Like, like doing the marathon, I just go, this is where I'm going to be for the next five and a half hours. This is where I'm at. And is what I'm doing. And I can, I can wrap my head around that. I don't know if I can wrap my head around like, I don't know the explosivity of it and going like, I'm going to save my family and then getting, but that might not work for you, but there still could be a different tactic that worked for you. You know what I mean? Like, even like that going that fucking hard to where your body is completely giving out. There's part of me that goes, Hey man, what are we doing here? You know, like when I'm working out, I go, that's really fucking hard. Well, you got, you definitely have to protect your health, right? Like the last thing you want to be doing this and having a hard attack. That's always my fear as I go easy buddy. Yeah. Easy buddy is a good way to look at it. But I've been doing that kind of working out forever. That's how I work out. Yeah. You've always go crazy. Yeah. I go crazy. Don't you ever think of, have you ever thought about someone who like really disrespected you right before you lift? You know what I mean? Like right before a set. That's all that happens online. You can't read that shit. You don't ever, I've gone to like a moment, you know, where you're like, I wish I would have cracked that dude in the face. And then right before, right before a set. No, I have not. And I know, I'm definitely know what I want. I know who I'm thinking about and I'm going to try it. All right. Don't say any names. What does he rhyme with? In order to like, to just really get yourself into that place, you know, you don't have to think about something that's terrifying and negative, but to me, that's like, that's the ultimate position that where you're going to need energy. This is so silly. The one, the best shape I've ever been in is when I met my wife. I was 186 pounds. Jamie type in skinny Bert. I've seen those pictures. Yeah. You almost had a six pack, almost three pack. And I had like side muscle, little, little oblique. I'm going for that this year, this month. I'm really going hard. I'm going hard this month. I've, I've, I've, Gary, I said to Jamie, Jamie, I made a deal with myself every day. I'm going to do 50 air squats and 50 pushups. I was going to do a hundred. Look at that. Look at skinny Bert. But you were a fucking stud. That was me. That was when I was in spin class. Look how skinny your face is. Well, your face was super skinny after last year. Sober October, that photo that you posted that you sent to us. Yeah. Look at my skinny face. I'm going back. I'm going hard this month. I really am. And I'm going to, cause I'm going to enjoy it last month. I think last time I did, it was out of spite. I wanted to prove to everyone I could stop drinking this month. I'm going into it having not drank probably a third as much as last year. I mean, meaning like I've drank three quarters as much. Does that make sense? And so, um, but when I was in spin class, we had Bob from the biggest loser was our spin class teacher at crunch. This is back. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Wait a minute. Is Bob the coach from the biggest loser? Yeah. Contestant. He was amazing. His inspiration was so connected. He connected to me so quickly. One time it's right before Thanksgiving and I'm looking good. I'm going to go to a wedding. My buddy's wedding and I'm on, on the bike and he goes, all right, everyone out of the saddles. We're going to be out of the saddles for two minutes. And I'm like, fuck this. And then he says, you're going home. I felt like he was talking to me. He goes, you're going home for Thanksgiving. You're going to see all the people in high school, all the people that didn't want to have sex with you. Do you want them to want to have sex with you this weekend? And I was like, yeah. And he goes, then stay out of that fucking saddle, stay out of that saddle and earn your Thanksgiving dinner and go out to bars the night before and say, I won't fuck you. I'm better than you. And I'm just going, I want them to fuck me. I want them to fuck me. I think of that. Hard in the paint, dude, that connected with me. So hard, that vanity of like, I want people to want me. Isn't that funny, man? That bike motivated so many comedians, you know, just being a loser in high school. And I'll show you guys, I'll show you. There's people that take them, that takes them straight to their deathbed, too. They're still like, yeah, fucking Sarah, seventh grade. This is for her.
