Joe Rogan Experience #2431 - Shane Gillis

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
I don't know, right down there visiting.
He's having a good old time, I'm sure.
He loves doing that.
Just fucking...
Wish it didn't piss me off.
It pisses you off that he just checks out?
Yeah.
What pisses you off?
I don't know.
I love it.
I love that he does it.
No, it's just art.
It's fun to...
But it's like the more successful he gets, the more dangerous it is.
People know who you are, dude.
You've been seen by millions of people.
You can't pretend you're this anonymous backpacker anymore.
You fucking weirdo.
He comes back.
My favorite was a couple years ago.
When he came back from Peru, we were doing Legion of Skanks,
and he was in the crowd and thought it was going to be a big surprise that he's
back.
He came back, and we were like, oh, what's up?
How are you here?
We're talking about the FBI.
He was like, guys, you haven't seen me in so long.
I don't see any of my friends.
Yeah, you were saying the way I see everybody every six months.
I forgot you left.
Right.
I only see Norman every six months, maybe.
Maybe a little more when we get popping with Protect Our Parks.
Bro, it's not the same without them.
I know, it's not.
I'm still going to get drunk, but...
It's a little sad, though.
It's a little more pathetic.
I'm drinking by myself.
It's a little more sad.
I've had a few drinks.
I had a whiskey before a show recently.
I had a couple glasses of wine with dinner the other day.
But it's the most I've had is two.
But the days of drinking at night...
I thought I had you.
At night...
I thought I had you last time we were at the mothership.
The problem is health.
Yeah.
I'm too interested in health.
Yeah, obviously.
I know.
That's the problem.
It's like the price you pay is legitimate.
Yeah.
And I'm too interested in health.
I do too much to stay healthy.
You work too hard to...
I'm getting old, dude.
Right?
I'm 58.
The reality is...
When was the last time I saw a really fit 78-year-old guy?
78 years, for me, is not that far.
Trump's jacked.
Bro, that's 2005.
Okay?
2005, when I was still doing Fear Factor.
That's 20 years ago.
Yeah.
That's nothing.
That's like that.
Time just flies by.
All of a sudden, you're 78.
You're my age.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Damn.
Yeah.
Exactly.
How old are you now?
I just turned 38.
Yeah.
See?
So think of that.
Yeah.
That's 20 years difference.
You to me is 20 years.
But me to like a dead guy is 20 years.
78-year-old guy is a dead guy.
Yeah, that's the difference.
So I've been consciously thinking about that.
Don't let it get away from you.
That's the thing.
Don't let it get away from you.
Like, look at Jelly Roll.
Yeah.
Fucking insane.
Incredible.
Yeah.
That dude just added decades onto his life.
Oh, for sure.
He was...
He was on his way out.
He was close.
He was on his way out.
Yeah.
40, 500...
Same talent?
40 pounds.
Yeah.
Same talent.
Sam talent dropped it, too.
Did he?
Yeah.
How much did he drop?
Fucking ton.
Oh, no shit.
I haven't seen him.
Well, I think he did...
I don't want to speak for...
I think he took one of the things.
Like, it was...
He's fine, man.
And I was like, man...
Whatever you need to do.
I was like, bro, just...
What are you doing?
And he was like, I was going to die.
I was like, all right, fair.
Yeah.
You get too big, and then he probably has sleep apnea, so he ain't getting any
sleep.
So at night, he's choking.
You know?
And you're lying in bed in these weird hotel rooms.
Yeah.
And Sam...
Sam talent...
I'm going out from sleep apnea for sure, bro.
Bro, I have to wear a mouthpiece every night.
It's crazy, yeah.
I wear a mouthpiece every night.
I found a great pillow, too.
Do you think it hurts to die from sleep apnea?
No, you just choke.
You stop breathing, and that's it.
It's a wrap.
Probably doesn't hurt at all.
You probably just go in your sleep.
Yeah, so what the fuck?
It's not one of the worst ways to go.
What are we talking about here?
Listen.
Let it ride.
It's just, the problem is, you're going way too young.
You're going because someone's killing you, and that someone's you.
Yeah, but...
See, a lot of football players get it.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I think Reggie White died from it.
They have giant necks.
So the giant neck, when you're adding all this stuff here, it's kind of closing
in.
And then you've got this big fucking head, and this big-ass tongue, and it just
falls over that hole.
And then you just slip into darkness.
Now you're talking my language.
Well, listen, for a lot of those guys, it's all preventable.
You know, you could sleep with a CPAP machine, which sucks.
Dude, my dad has a CPAP machine, and he doesn't fucking clean it.
Oh, no.
He gets, like, eye infections.
Oh, God.
You just see him.
He shows up with double pink eye.
You're like, yo, what the fuck?
Bro, I tried that thing once, one time.
How do you sleep with that?
Can't.
Can't do it.
I can't sleep with a lot of noise.
I want to be able to wake up quick.
I wake up quick.
That's funny.
I'm one of those wake-up guys, like, if my wife grabs me, like, if she has to
wake me up, she has to, like, be kind of, you know, ready.
Then I don't grab her.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
I've always woken up like that.
So, I don't want any noise.
I listen to noise when I sleep, and then I have that thought, though.
It's like, if somebody breaks in.
I want to hear everything.
Sure.
Well, this is, like, I used to always have a lot of dangerous dogs.
I used to have, like, multiple pit bulls.
I used to have.
I got a bear.
I used to meet me and him both with Sleep Avenue.
But it's, I wanted, I always wanted things to be awake that would bark if, like,
something was at the door.
Like, living by yourself in Hollywood, I never lived in Hollywood, but I lived
in North Hollywood, and then I lived in Encino, and then I moved further out.
I just kept moving further and further out.
I even thought about Santa Barbara.
I'm like, why don't I get a big piece of property on Santa Barbara, get the
fuck away from everybody.
But, like, I don't want a machine going.
Yeah.
You can't, you're not hearing shit.
I would be paranoid.
I'd be feeling weird.
I think when you hit, like, machine time, it's like, dude, I hope someone
breaks in here.
Like, who gives a fuck, dude?
I've gotten Sleep Avenue.
I get Sleep Avenue when I'm hungover.
That's when I get it.
Right.
Like, and I've got it on my planes.
I'm waking myself up.
Of course.
It's so embarrassing.
I had to wake this dude up, and not wake this dude up, but tell him once.
We were on a long flight, like, going to Europe or something.
And this poor dude was choking so bad.
He sat up, and I said, hey, man, you have Sleep Apnea.
I go, have you ever been tested for Sleep Apnea?
He was a younger guy.
He was, like, in his 30s, but real overweight.
And I go, you got to go get tested.
I go, you legitimately have Sleep Apnea.
I go, I know because I have it.
And I told him, I'm like, you don't breathe for, like, nine seconds at a time.
I watched him.
It was crazy.
I got to be honest.
That's, I mean, don't get me wrong.
You did the right thing, but that would bum me out.
Well, he was already friendly with me.
Okay.
We were already friendly.
Because he was like, hey, I love your show.
Waking up to, like, an in-shape jack dude being like, you're fat.
He'd be like, yeah, dude, I fucking know.
I told him I have it, too.
I have it, too.
I was informing him.
I'm telling you.
I go, it changed my life.
And I just told him.
I go, I got a mouthpiece that presses down on your tongue and keeps my tongue
from sliding back.
It's a game changer.
I go, dude, you'll feel so much better.
I tried it.
Because I watched you choke.
Yeah.
And so he's like, oh.
The mouthpiece is tough, though.
It's hard.
If you're laying with your lady.
Oh, that's a problem.
Put the mouthpiece in.
Yeah, and she wants to talk.
Well, hold on a second.
All of a sudden, I'm hard.
We should probably have sex right now.
Take that mouthpiece out.
Yeah, you got to take it out.
You go, hey, baby, are you awake?
It's just, another thing is mouth tape.
You ever try that?
Were you breathing out of your nose?
I got a deviated septum.
It wouldn't.
You should get that fixed, dog.
I'm never going to fix anything.
Oh, you should get that fixed.
I got mine fixed.
It was amazing.
I didn't get it fixed until I was 40.
Yeah.
I had it my whole.
You just got a nose surgery?
Yeah.
It was awesome.
It was, the result is awesome.
I mean, I gained, like, instantly gained, like, 10% cardio.
Oh, damn.
Yeah, because you breathe out of your nose now.
I couldn't breathe out of my nose forever.
I broke my nose when I was five.
I fell down a flight of stairs.
And then it was always crooked.
Like, it's like the bone got fucked.
I got fucked.
I probably should have went to a doctor.
But, you know, in the 70s, they just fucking dusted you off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, and then I broke my nose who knows how many times after that.
Of course.
Bunch times.
Yeah.
The most recent one, in my 40s, I got kneed in the face in jujitsu in my, or in
my late 30s, rather.
I got kneed in the face in jujitsu and it was fucking pouring blood.
It doesn't look bad, though.
No, it's not that bad.
It's not flattened.
Yeah, yeah.
Not too much.
Because I really stopped striking mostly when I was like 22, 23.
I did a little of it when I came to L.A. again.
I did a little sparring, but not too much.
But it's the guys that just keep getting hit in the nose over and over again.
This piece of cartilage eventually collapses.
And then you get this, like, flat thing there.
Yeah.
Which doesn't bother me too much on dudes, but it bums me out when I see it on
women fighters.
It really does.
It bums me out.
I know, it's so sexist.
It does.
It bums me out.
Until you want to look pretty.
You're straight.
I know.
You go, why don't you look pretty?
There's certain fights where women get, like, really badly cut and I have a
really hard time with it.
I know.
I shouldn't.
I mean, obviously.
I don't have a hard time with dudes.
Well, it's hard to watch women get beat up.
It is.
Like the fucking Dead I Wreck video we were watching.
Oh, Jesus.
It's hard to watch.
What are you doing?
Someone decided it would be a good idea to have a man box a woman.
Yeah.
It was maybe some mouthy chick because she was really aggressive.
She was.
Like, even after he knocked her down, she jumped up and tried to swing on him
even when the referee was holding her back.
She was very aggressive, but this dude beat the fucking dog shit out of her.
She did survive the round.
I guess.
Didn't she get knocked down at the end and they stopped it?
I think that, I could be wrong, it looked like the second.
He was in his corner.
Well, he was terrible.
He was terrible.
He wasn't good.
Yeah.
He wasn't good.
It was ridiculous.
Also, he could.
Yeah, there it is.
Don't, Jimmy, don't make me watch this.
Jimmy.
This guy's just, I mean, it looks like he's got some rudimentary technique.
He's just kind of swinging punches, but the power difference is just crazy.
And anybody who thinks it's not is just fucking delusional.
The difference between a man and a woman is so big.
Even like a strong woman, like Amanda Nunes, she'd probably knock out most
dudes, but she's
not sparring a guy, her weight, that's going to go full blast.
That's fucked.
Even like a big power puncher for a woman just doesn't compare.
Oh, there.
That's the end.
That's horrible.
That's crazy.
It's horrible.
But I think they were just in like Fallujah, so fuck it.
My friend Tommy used to have a girlfriend that could definitely knock you out.
Me?
Knock me out.
Dude, bro, I'm telling you, this girl could knock a man out.
Tommy was always telling me how hard she hits those punching bag things, and he's
like,
let her hit your hand.
So I go, okay.
So I put my hand up.
Bro, she blasted my hand, and I went, whoa.
I was like, that is real.
I go, that's a real problem.
I go, dude, she'll knock you out.
Did you not get into an argument with your girlfriend?
She'
