Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Showing my day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Jim motherfucking Brewer.
Good to see you, my brother.
You too, man.
I feel like I'm seeing a high school friend.
I know.
I've been out of high school for a long time.
Well, when we met, we were fresh out of high school.
When we met, we were in our early 20s.
Yeah, we were really young.
Yeah.
We were young.
Bro, we've been friends for like 31 years.
Dude.
So crazy.
Maybe 32.
It might be 32 years.
Yeah, I've been married.
It's like 91?
30.
Yeah.
And I wasn't married.
I was with the same girl.
Yeah, yeah.
And so that was at least 31, 32 years ago.
At least 31, 32 years ago.
Yeah.
And you cracked me up then and you cracked me up now.
We had a good fucking time.
We had a good time back then.
We had a good time last night, dude.
Last night was so much fun.
God, that club is such a fun hang.
I love seeing you enjoy life.
I love seeing you enjoy life.
And watching you, it's like, what I love about you is you've never changed.
And you always, you love comedy.
You love stand-up comedy.
And to see you just eating, breathing, talking, living, loving stand-up.
Bro, you would, you would, you would fucking go in the, in the main room.
I'd get there, right?
And you're just, you're crushing, crushing.
I'm watching the back, I'm watching the balcony like a, like a, like a 15-year-old
going,
Bro, that felt good for me.
You know when you're able to watch another guy and laugh your fucking balls up?
And then you, and then you come inside and then you're talking more comedy with
all the
dudes in there and then, and then, and then you go in the little room and you're
telling
me, cause dude, I'm way out of my element last night.
I was just like this whole time, like, what the fuck is going on right now?
Holy shit.
You slipped right into it.
Come on, man.
Well, I did, but I was, you felt like you belonged at that place.
Huh?
You felt like you, you belonged at that place.
Like immediately, the moment you went on stage, we were in the balcony watching
you.
I was crying.
That was the best impression of me I've ever seen anybody do.
Well, it's fascinating.
I'm watching you.
Ridiculous I am.
Well, I'm in the green room and you're just, you're, you're, you know, the guys
are talking
about fighting and you're just like, just, just every movie, you're like, dude,
you've
got to go slow.
It's repetitions.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
And then you start going, but you always stay right here.
And all of them will watch you like, I'll watch you like, dude, you could, you
could sell
me probably going into the UFC for this one fight.
Fucking captivating.
It was, I had a, I really had a good time, but I, I, I got to say.
Well, a lot of those guys are getting into martial arts.
Huh?
It's a lot of those guys are getting into martial arts, you know, because like
guys are trying
jujitsu.
It's, it's really interesting because it's like they're realizing like there's
something
to that.
There's something to doing that thing, that very difficult physical thing.
It makes you better at other stuff.
I want to do it and I didn't commit to it yet because I know.
You should go with Joey.
Joey loves it.
Joey Diaz, he does jujitsu all the time.
He's in Jersey, right?
Yeah.
You're not in Jersey anymore.
You're in Florida now.
There's plenty of places in Florida I could say.
There is plenty.
But, oh my God, Florida is filled with like high level jujitsu.
But what I was going to say was it's knowing what you're capable of definitely,
definitely
adds to everything about you.
The way your whole day goes about like, it creates a fearless, if that makes
sense.
Well, it's just like, it gives you more of an understanding of other stuff.
Like if you get good at a thing that's hard to do, it gives you a better
understanding of
how to get good at other stuff.
Yeah.
I just, and I think even life, and just life in general, having a difficult
thing that
you do in your life, I think makes the rest of life easier.
I really do.
And I think, I think we're just, humans are so adaptable, man.
You look at people that live in horrible conditions and they seem fine.
Like you ever see like these videos of these villages where these kids are
playing and there's
just dirt, there's nothing else.
And they're just kicking around a homemade soccer ball, laughing and giggling.
Joe, so, so last year, two years ago, we go on a big vacation, right?
I like going to Africa.
I like, and we're, we go to this tribe.
And what part of Africa did you go?
This one was in Kenya.
It was right outside of Kenya.
Like you flew into Nairobi.
It was just outside of Kenya.
But remember when you were a kid and like you build a fort, like if me and you
were hanging
out with 12 years, 12 years, I tell you like, oh, you want to build a fort?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're going to end up getting like, okay, I got a, I got a trash can.
Yeah.
I got my dad's jacket.
I got the hood of a car and we're getting, and we love.
And then, and then once you build a fort, then you're inside and you're like,
this is where
we're going to cook.
Dude, that's what these guys lived in.
And they love, they were, it was like watching kids play fort and they were
just so proud.
I went in, I'll show you a picture later.
It's so fucking cool.
You go in and they, that's all they got.
And I think that when you say that's all they've got, it's a misconception.
Yeah.
They have everything.
They exist just like we exist.
Like they're alive and thriving, just like we're alive and thriving.
It's just a completely different way of living.
A hunter gatherer's way of living.
Apparently when you talk to, and I'm not, I'm not talking about like, let's be
real clear.
I'm not talking about like third world people who live in like rural poverty.
I'm, I'm talking about hunter gatherers.
I'm talking about people that exist off the land, right?
There's something about that they think resonates with people because that's
how we evolved.
And so when people do that, they're very happy.
Like they had a really interesting docu-series on vice back in the day called
Heinemann's Arctic Adventure.
And it's about this guy, Heinemann Korth.
I hope I think I'm saying his name right.
I think I am.
And this dude moved up to the Arctic in like the 1970s.
And he's been there ever since.
This dude doesn't have a, he's got a TV with like VHS tapes and he watches
movies occasionally.
He, he saw about 9-11.
He saw a photo of 9-11.
He's still never seen the planes go into the towers.
And this guy moved up there and met this woman, this indigenous woman, and had
a family with her.
And it's, and this fucking guy lives in like a log house that's in the middle
of the woods and he's surrounded by grizzly bears.
He had to kill a grizzly bear on camera in the middle of this thing.
The grizzly bear was coming to kill his, his dog or eat his caribou or
something.
They, no, it's killed one of his dogs in the past.
Like you have your dogs tied up outside to bark to make sure that they know
when bears are coming.
Right.
And a bear ate his fucking dog.
The dog was tied up.
They came back.
The, the dog was dead.
Or just pieces of it.
Like, and this guy lives like this and he's, and he's so happy, but he's also
super intelligent.
So when this guy's talking, he's explaining how, I think this is how people are
supposed to live.
Well, not only that too, but knowing that your life or any life can end at any
moment at any time.
I think when you have a reality that just how, how delicate all of life is.
Yeah.
You have a different perception and you take, and you look at things a lot
differently.
Like you, you lose someone, you truly look, this fucker knows all of them are
vulnerable.
Including himself.
He lost his baby.
He lost a two-year-old baby and fell out of their boat in the rapids.
I mean, this is how difficult their life is that they're forced to hold a two-year-old
baby in the rapids.
Well, that, they, there's no other way to do it.
They have to get through.
Right.
So everyone has to survive.
It's like, it's like, the thing tipped over.
It's like, well, and we live in our world where a two-year-old gets cancer.
Right.
And you go, watch that kid go through things and have 10, 15 operations.
Yeah.
And then you finally lose them.
It's, it's, uh, life.
That's the part, like, doesn't matter.
Part of me wants to go back to that.
Uh, I know it's going to be a battle, but there is part of me that feels like
that, this should be the new school.
But is there, is there a mix between living that way and like, hey man, let's
go get some, let's go get some pizza and burgers.
Yeah.
Let's, let's go see a fucking movie.
Yeah.
Or let's go see, and we have to get two nuts out here.
Is there, because I, like, that's the new school, learning how to build a home.
Mm-hmm.
Learning how to live off the land.
Dude, you know what I saw that was fascinating the other day?
They, uh, took apart this, uh, 100 plus year old Japanese building that was
made with no nails.
The craftsmanship is so insane.
They have these wood cuts where they wedge into each other perfectly, and then
they have a separate wedge that they put in each piece to secure it in place.
And they built this house this way, with no nails, over a hundred years ago.
Is this like the log cabin thing, too, where you like, you.
No, but it's not like a log, it's like perfect.
Like a log cabin, it's kind of rough, you know, like they do that and they make
those cuts and they slide them in place, but it's a little rough.
I'm talking about like this precision thin cuts on wood where they mesh
together perfectly.
I saw this, I saw a complete opposite where they built into the ground.
And I don't know if it was like India or whatever.
It looked, it, it, it, they had brown skin and they built this most incredible
underground bedroom just from digging and placing things over certain areas.
Bro, it was just.
So they just went into a mountainside.
It wasn't even a mountainside.
It went.
A hillside?
Yeah.
And they went into the ground?
Went to the ground and went.
Like a hobbit house.
Yes.
Wow.
It was so cool.
Yeah, this is it.
Look at how they did this.
This is the Japanese construction.
Isn't that insane?
Look how they made these fucking perfect cut wedges and they just slide into
each other.
And they had this whole building built like this.
There's no nails.
And it, it existed like this perfectly for a hundred years.
So they're deconstructing it.
I'm hoping that they're going to reconstruct it.
I don't know what they're doing.
So how old is this thing?
Over a hundred years old, I believe.
A hundred years ago.
Yeah.
It's joinery.
When I was looking it up, it says that that's how they did construction in
Japan back then.
It's amazing.
A bunch of videos showing this stuff.
It's amazing.
Because it's not like they didn't have nails back then.
But what's fascinating about someone who's willing to commit to building stuff
like this is like,
this is engineering.
This is art.
This is architecture.
I mean, these guys, look at how they're doing this, man.
When they're making all these things slide into each other and secure in place
with wedges.
This is incredible.
You said they're bug repellent too.
They're treated with, oh, treated with bug repellent.
That probably gives you cancer.
Like, what kind of bug repellent?
That stuff's so nasty.
When I did construction, I used to have to carry pressure-treated lumber.
And because I was a grunt.
And pressure-treated lumber, you get splinters in you.
And you're basically getting inoculated with some chemical.
What the fuck is pressure-treated lumber pressure-treated with?
It smells terrible.
It's amazing.
I did one job that I had during the summer with my friend Jimmy Lawless.
He got me a job working for his construction company.
And Jimmy was a carpenter at the time, and I was a laborer.
And we had to build a Knights of Columbus ramp.
And it was jus
