The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Do you want me to drink anything special?
Did Evan make this for you?
Yeah, it's Black Rifle.
I don't know what blend it is.
I'm going to be fully transparent.
I only like the bougie Black Rifle blends.
The bougie blends?
Yeah, like...
Oh, like the Ethiopian stuff?
Yeah, like Evan...
Like the lemony sort of?
Evan will be like, oh, so I sole source selected this bean from this place and
I roasted it this way.
I'm like, oh, it's going to be good.
And it's good.
Well, every year I do elk hunting camp with Evan.
We share an elk hunting camp in California.
So we just got back.
And so Evan makes coffee for us every day.
So he gets up and he fucking hand measures everything.
And he brings his own fucking special blends.
He had two different blends.
Because he knows I like a dark roast.
So he had a dark roast and then he had this really bizarre, exotic coffee that
tasted different than anything I'd ever had before.
It was like, had like a kind of like, almost like a sweet, like, almost like a
tea taste to it.
Like, he just, he's a master.
You know, he was using taxpaying dollars to start his coffee obsession.
Was he really?
Yeah.
So when he was both in group and at the agency, he would take, you know, we
have discretionable funds that you can spend on whatever.
And of, you know, and area improvement is an appropriate way for you to spend
money.
So he would buy like a $20,000 espresso machine and, you know, a $3,000 grinder
in some middle of nowhere Ford operating base where he's making coffee and like
just being a total nerd.
Um, it's all taxpayer money.
It's, it's awesome.
Like finally something's being used with taxpaying dollars that benefits the
soldier, which is rare.
We ran out of coffee filters and someone was like, well, you just use paper
towels.
And he just let, fuck no, we're not going to use paper towels.
I was like, dude, we're not using paper towels.
Look at him.
He's little, but he's mighty.
He's very serious.
Do not use paper towels.
Like this, he's very serious about his coffee.
Or skydiving next month.
You've been to his place in Utah?
Yeah.
The, the, the lab that he has set up at Black Rifle.
Yeah.
He made me do like one of the, like the little tastes where they like do this
thing with the spoon, you know, and then they're, you have to smell it first
and you have to do something with your tongue.
And I was like, is this, what are we doing here?
I can't, I can't do that.
I can't go that far.
It's like with wine.
Like when people like, oh, hints of oak.
Like, I don't, it's good.
I like it.
I like it.
Yeah.
You can do that.
This goes well with what I'm eating right now.
I have a friend, my friend, Matt, I'll call.
He's a real wine freak.
And I'll just like show him a photo of like the wine page at a restaurant.
Like, what should I get?
And he'll tell me.
He'll just text me.
He loves it.
So I'm like, good.
I've got that farmed off.
If I can outsource things that I don't have to keep on my brain.
Yeah.
I do not want to have to pay attention to that.
You are so good.
And that's how I do it with coffee too.
I just like, like Evan's like, I'll send you a bag of that stuff.
I'm like, great.
What was it again?
I forget what it was, but it was like fruity and fucking-
Another one, like as Jack Carr is so incredible, Evan.
So I'm skydiving all, I was supposed to be skydiving all last week, but it wasn't
Israel.
And then, so I had to move it to the right.
Because we're doing this Moab jump with a bunch of your friends, Mike Cirelli
and Mike Glover and Evan.
And so I like, I need to brush off, knock off the dust a little bit.
So I, Evan, and he sends me this like super fancy designed helmet from Black
Rifle, a skydive helmet, a G3 for, just like, just sent it to me.
You know, and I was like, all right, this is really cool.
You know, me skydiving with this helmet that is way above my ability because I'm
just total sky trash.
I have never, and I'm not doing it.
I have zero desire.
I don't get it.
I don't get Andy Stump with his fucking flying squirrel suit.
Fuck you.
He'll be there too.
I'm not doing that.
Of course he's, he, that's easy for him.
He's used to the flying squirrel suit.
I think he's one of the, regular skydiving ain't shit.
The, I asked Andy if he'd be interested in, in helping me do this like base
jump stuff and wingsuit stuff.
And just all I got was no.
It's like, can you expand on that?
He's like, all of my friends that I used to do this with are dead.
So no, Tim.
Okay.
Well, great conversation.
That was fun.
That is like the death rate in that stuff.
Like he was telling me like how many, like if you send out fucking 20 people to
do that, how many come back?
It's not good.
No.
Yeah.
You find a different hobby.
It's not a good, did you ever see the video where the guy is trying to fly in
between the arches of a bridge?
The sound, the clang of metal when his meat and bones hit that bridge.
It was terrible.
There's like a watermelon traveling at 200 miles an hour.
Impacting metal.
Yeah.
And you can't imagine what that sound, like you imagine what that sound would
be until you hear it.
And that was a watermelon with bone slamming against metal, which was a human,
which is now nothing.
Nothing.
A splatter.
It's instantaneous.
I mean, he's probably going 100 miles an hour, you know?
Yeah.
Faster.
Probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How fast do you go with those things?
If 140, so like if you're in a dive position, you're going 160 to 200 miles an
hour.
And if you're stable flying, you know, maybe 140.
160.
Yeah.
So when you're like navigating like he was, I bet he was going 140, 150 miles
an hour.
Jesus.
Which really makes you appreciate nature and evolution.
That the Perrigan Falcon does like, what does it do?
Like 220 or something insane?
And can change on a dime.
Just like flip.
It says you can go up to 220 horizontally.
Oh!
Oh!
Fast.
220 in a car fucking feels insane.
I mean, I've never done it.
I don't know.
But I mean, I've done like, we went to the local racetrack, that place up there,
Coda.
Oh, our light's not on.
We went to Coda recently and Coda gets up to like, I mean, we were in a Lamborghini
and went
to like 147.
That feels fucking insane at a racetrack.
I got it.
How's this thing going on, James?
You got it.
You got it.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, I'll change the colors.
That long straightaway into that almost 180 turn on a motorcycle is one of the
scariest
things I have ever felt.
Have you done that track?
Yeah.
Oh, that track is awesome.
Yeah.
I mean, except for that, like my testicles were up into my stomach and I
thought I'm a
brave, courageous human and then I was just a hundred percent coward on a racetrack.
Right.
Well, at least if you wipe out, you just kind of like, slide.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We were watching Formula One there.
That is fucking wild.
Those guys are flying.
They're going so much faster than regular cars.
You can really get a perspective when you've actually driven around the car in
like a GT
car, the track rather, and then you see those guys.
It's wild.
Oh.
And there's levels too.
You know, every time I think that I'm good at something, then you go with
somebody that's
actually good at that thing.
Yeah.
And then you're like, I'm so trash.
Yeah.
I thought I knew how to drive a car until I got lessons and like, oh, I suck at
driving
too.
It's great.
It's a long litany of things that I suck at.
Yeah.
Which are just made so clear.
And then unfortunately, I don't want to suck at it.
So now I have this new addiction.
Oh, no.
And I want to go to the fucking track all the time, which is not the best thing
for like
time management.
Yeah.
Because it's a fucking full day thing.
You know, it's like golf or something like that.
Like, I've never played golf and I won't play golf because it's a time
management thing.
Yeah.
Like, I don't have that.
Like, Ron White and Tony Hinchcliffe, they go out and they play for fucking
eight hours.
I'm like, bro, I don't have eight hours.
Yeah.
What do you do?
Ever.
I've eight hours of sleep.
You get stuff done on the golf course.
Like, no, you don't.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
Maybe if you're a hedge fund manager and you want to figure out how to rip
people off.
I enjoy the, I mean, shooting and golf have a lot in common, like precision
rifle.
Yeah.
So, I enjoy that portion of it.
So, I definitely don't need to do this other thing with a club and a ball.
I have a pool addiction, which is very similar.
Billiards.
Yeah.
I play pool at a pretty high level.
I have a real problem with that.
I can play eight, nine hours a day.
Easy.
Those are dorks.
Yeah.
Real pool nerds are, they're genius.
Yeah.
And they're weird and they're so freaking good.
They're so fucking smart.
That's what's crazy.
Like, really good pool players are fucking smart because you have to be,
because you have
to, it's problem solving.
You have to figure out how to manage geometry and also feel, and then you have
to execute
the shot too under pressure.
Very similar to jujitsu in, in archery.
Yeah.
This physical application of this mental complex problem.
Yeah.
That is, you know, in real time changing every second.
Yeah.
I think jujitsu is the most complex of those things and the most, but it's also
the one
that breaks your body the most.
That's the problem with jujitsu.
I'm doing really good in this long, I've totally changed now that all of these
monsters
have moved to Austin and what I, another example of where I thought I was just
this freak grappler
until I met real freak grapplers and I'm like, man, I'm not even top 20, you
know, I'm
maybe top 100 now.
And so that realization with the Jean-Carlo Bedonis and the Gordon Ryans, the
Victor Hugos
and the Merigellis and the Craig Joneses, you know, like.
Isn't that wild?
How many fucking people are you?
And they're all in my gym.
And they're all in my gym.
And they're all in my gym too.
Everyone's here.
I was in his academy this morning.
It's amazing.
I mean, no, no, it's not amazing, Joe.
It's not.
You know what I'm saying?
This is the spectrum of a great, another thing that I'm trash at.
But I've totally changed.
I want to do jujitsu until I'm 100 years old.
And so I'm so intentional about what my roles are, who my live goes are with.
You know, the.
That's important.
It's so important.
And also keeping, you're very good at keeping up your physical body, which a
lot of people
are not.
They just roll.
Yeah.
And they just train, which you really can't.
Nope.
I split my effort in a week almost evenly between, you know, grappling,
striking, physical development,
strength, speed, and then like that long recovery, longevity aspect of it.
Like that's how my week is broken into for my training.
You almost have to treat your body like a pit crew.
You know, like you really have to change your fucking tires.
You got to do the whole thing.
You have to, you can't just like, ah, they look good.
No.
You got to like really treat it like there's a methodical approach that must be
done in order
to race.
Yeah.
If you want to train, you kind of have to do that.
Yeah.
It's not good for the ego.
It's not.
I got away with it when I was, you know, 25 and fighting, but, uh.
Yeah.
Well, you got away with it while you were also active duty, which is pretty
crazy.
Yeah.
I should have, um, been a little bit more intentional and disciplined about how
I spent
my time.
I, I took youth for granted.
Everybody does.
Yeah.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Isn't it wild?
Especially when you're dumb.
Yeah.
You know, it's hard.
Well, most young people are dumb.
Yeah.
And it's most young people that do the kind of stuff that we enjoy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we did dumb stuff.
How's life?
Everything's good, man.
Everything's really good.
I was shooting bow yesterday.
My buddy Tyson, um, got Rob from Roka sent, gave him a bow.
I, another great person that does great things for people that I resent.
Oh, Rob's great.
Yeah.
I'm like, you never gave me a bow.
