- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Must one work out every day?
Isn't that part of it too?
- Must one work out every day.
- Yeah.
- One must work out, one must burn 500 calories
in a workout every single day.
Seven days a week, 365 days, well, 60, 30.
- What happened? - 30.
- 30 days.
- I'm already expanding.
- So isn't it, is there a contest
about who can burn the most calories?
- We're not doing that 'cause we go crazy.
- Yeah.
- The problem with contests is they absorb your whole life.
- Yeah.
- And everybody except Ari has a family and obligations
and jobs and podcasts and different things they have to do.
Just, we did it one year, the contest,
and it was pretty obvious halfway in that we were fucked.
- I remember you got behind and then you just powered through
and came from behind with like some crazy workouts.
- Well, I was never really behind.
I mean, I might've been behind for like a day.
It was though, in the beginning we were trying to figure out
how much we were gonna burn, you know,
'cause we were using this MyZones thing,
so it's like you wear a chest strap.
And the chest strap gives you points with the application
for however many minutes you are at 80% of your max heart rate
versus 90% of your max heart rate,
like 90 is two points, 80 is one or something like that.
- Yeah.
- And Ari figured out that you could watch TV
while you were doing cardio.
So he watched movies on an iPad while he's doing cardio.
- Yeah.
- And he ran up a big number, like 400 in a day.
We were like, fuck.
- Uh huh.
- That's a big number.
That was like two movies.
- Yeah.
- And so then we really started getting crazy.
And then one day I did 1100 points.
I did seven hours of cardio.
- No shit.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Mostly what, running?
- No, mostly elliptical machine,
'cause you could watch movies.
- Yeah.
- So I watched John Wick like 50 times.
I kept rewinding it to the scene in the bathhouse
where he kills everybody.
It just gets so adrenaline filled, you can keep going.
- Yeah.
- I watched some fights, I watched a bunch of shit,
and it's like, it just got too crazy.
- Yeah.
- We were losing our minds.
- All right.
- We were really losing our minds.
We were talking a lot of shit to each other.
- Uh huh.
- And Tom got sick.
Tom got the flu.
And then the day he got better from the flu,
he ran 13 miles.
- No shit.
- The day he got better,
he ran 13 miles through his neighborhood,
through the hills.
- Damn.
That's different than a treadmill.
13 miles on the street is like--
- That's real.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, we went crazy.
- Yeah.
- And like, if that kept going,
imagine if we had it for like six months.
We had a fitness contest for six months,
and at the end of six months,
you win like a million dollars.
- Yeah.
You could've got a sponsor for that.
- Easy.
- Yeah.
- The problem is it would become your whole life.
- All right.
- We would go crazy.
- All right.
- And Burt would die.
Burt would for sure have a heart attack.
- Yeah.
- Or he would just be content coming in last,
like he did last time.
He talked a lot of shit and came in last.
- He did.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Yeah, it seems like a great idea for your men.
Like for me, working out is just for my head.
I don't even give a shit.
I mean, this body I was naturally born with.
It's a gift.
- Congratulations.
- But my brain, if I work out, man,
I just feel happy.
And if I don't, I get depressed.
- So one of the things we talked about,
Tom and I talked about specifically,
was that when you do a lot of cardio in a day,
like four hours of cardio in a day,
he goes, all the internal chatter just goes away.
I go, yeah, there's like, there's no negative talk.
There's no like anxiety and angst.
And I really wonder how much of that
that people walk around with all day
could be fixed with cardio.
It could be fixed with like rigorous exercise.
You know, and they say,
they say weightlifting helps anxiety too.
They say strength training does.
But for me, it's like cardio.
Cardio seems to put me in this place
where it just is like, whatever, who gives a fuck?
It's just like a, just a really peaceful,
it like balances out what's really important
to think about and worry about.
Versus like things that are just sort of
bouncing around your head.
You don't know if I should pay attention to that one
or that one and what should I freak out about the most?
