Sebastian Explains Pickleball | Joe Rogan

It's like, what am I gonna do? Biceps and chest? It's over. I ain't doing 225 ever again. That was my workout since I was like 18. I'd go in. Nothing changed. It was 225s and then let's do some curls and neglect the abs and go home. Yeah, neglect the legs. Yeah, no legs. Although I did have, I played soccer growing up, so I did have those, you know, those soccer legs. I got like Earl Campbell thighs. Yeah, soccer is one of the best exercises ever. I mean, it's also a great way to blow your ACL out. Totally. Yeah, everybody's, you know, shifting left and right and all that. There's a fucking picture. You know, big boy, the DJ, his fucking son, there's a video, he retweeted it. His son is a football player and there's a, there's a video of his son where, you know, someone's trying to tackle him and he moves like a fucking ghost. It's incredible. You watch him do, like it was one, one of those rare things where you see something and you're like legitimately impressed. Like, holy shit. I watched it like five times in a row. This kid's footwork is incredible. Really? Yeah, but footwork, like that kind of like, who's in better shape than soccer players? They're constantly sprinting. Yeah. The whole game is like, and you have to maintain that stamina. You're constantly sprinting. Yeah. There's a lot of mileage you're putting on in a soccer game. Although, you know what gives me, and you are probably going to laugh as well as your listeners, believe me, pickleball. You ever played that? Pickleball? What is that? Pickleball. It's like tennis and ping pong. And you play it in a gymnasium. So it's like a, it's a net. Okay. And it's, you got paddles and talk about moving side to side. It's, it's fun and you burn a ton of calories. And you do it in a gym. You do it in a gym and like a, like a basketball court. So it's like racquetball, but there's a net. There's a net. So it's bouncing it off the wall. You're, you're playing it like tennis. Yeah. It's a court, small net. And you have, uh, Jamie's got this. What's on that? Like in Venice, those little small courts. A lot of old. Hello. My name is Fred. This is my wife Wendy. Listen, you're going to laugh. All right. There's a lot of old people that play this, but I'm telling you it's, this is embarrassing. So you each have your, these four people. Yeah. You could do doubles, but me and my buddy play just one on one. And I'm telling you, it's not, it looks like it's not only fun, but you, you burn a lot of calories and you don't even know you're doing it because I'm diving and right. It's uh, it's one of the exercises that we, uh, we really enjoy. What's that? Yeah. So listen to what he's got you doing. He's got you doing Pilates and pickle ball. What's next? Uh, I have no idea. Maybe he's working his way. He knows what he's working towards. I don't have to tell you. I'm telling you, I know a lot of 68 year old people play this, but, uh, if you're looking for a low, uh, kind of impact fun activity, uh, it looks good. You're looking at it. No, it does. Oh yeah. I know tennis is fucking hard. Tennis, man. It's another thing. This is like a, this is like tennis reduced to a smaller court. Basically probably healthier for you. Yeah. Not as hard on the ankles and the knees. It's not as hard. Yeah. But, uh, I will, we'll have to go after we have our steak. We'll go for a game. Where would one go to have courts in Venice beats? That's what I thought it was. I've always seen these small tennis courts there and I didn't know really what people were playing. So they're calling it paddle tennis. Yeah. Maybe, maybe this, but this is what, this is what it is. These guys look ridiculous. They should just go home. This is outrageous. What are you doing, sir? I'm telling you, put a little English. Listen, I grew up playing ping pong. I'm really good at ping pong. Really? Yeah. So this is like a larger version of ping pong. Yeah. It looks like it's fun. All bullshit aside. That looks like a good time. It's, it's fun. Believe me. I know your listeners at Nyan left and right now, but I'm telling you it's, it's, uh, it's, it's good. So that's what I'm doing, Joe. So you take your trainer with you on your row, on the road. That's the move. Where's this? Where'd you meet this guy? I've known him for 20 years. I met him on the set of days of our lives, doing extra work. Holy shit. Days of our lives. When I first came out to, uh, to LA in 1998, I was the type of guy I would do these weird like mailings to get work. Right? So for days of our lives, no, it was general hospital, general hospital, take a headshot and then take a post-it note. And I would write on the post-it note, ready to operate. Stuck it to the headshot and I set that out. So I would do these like weird little mailings where, oh, you know, maybe the person opening the mail would go, oh, I get a little chuckle and whatnot. So I met him doing extra work. This is what I used to do, uh, for, for some extra cash. And, uh, we became fast friends. He's an Italian kid and, uh, we similar upbringing, uh, middle-class. He's from New York. I'm from Chicago and, uh, just a great, great guy.
