Joe Rogan Experience #1833 - Tim Kennedy

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Your comedy, your stand-up was the first one I've been to in probably 10 years.
Oh, with the Vulcan?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a great place, isn't it?
It was rad.
Yeah, it's a fun little spot.
Everybody was cool.
It's weird that it's on 6th Street, but...
Yeah.
Yeah, my place is too.
We up?
Yeah, 6th Street is a unique spot.
Yeah.
They're doing some stuff to try to, you know, clean it up a little bit,
and they got rid of that homeless situation.
There was like a crazy homeless encampment that was really close to that.
They got rid of that.
So, Austin's a unique place.
There's a lot of wild shit in this town.
Yeah, amazing stuff and really weird stuff.
Yeah.
It's a great combination, though, and it's a great size.
You know, you were one of the people that early on got me thinking about Austin,
because you were always ranting about it, about how great it is.
I should have kept my mouth closed.
You should have kept your mouth shut.
Because then when you came here, everybody, they're like, ah, where's Joe at?
Oh, just moved to Austin.
I was like, you shut your mouth.
We were on a flight last night coming back, and the Southwest person, who
obviously lives in Austin, they stopped in Austin and then flew to San Diego.
And he's like, and everybody that is going home to visit in San Diego, please
stay.
Like, he said that over the intercom on a Southwest flight, and he's like, I
like this guy.
Well, it's like the secret's out, but the barrier to entry is high.
It's hard to move to a new city.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
And then on top of that, it's hard to find a fucking house here.
Yeah.
Everybody I know that finds a house here, they get outbid.
Like, you've got to bid more than the house costs.
It's like they're making this little sneaky move where, like, save the house if
it's listed for 500 grand.
You've got to offer six.
Yeah.
Because if you don't, someone is going to do that, and then you're not going to
make it.
I've been trying to buy land, and I keep, I mean, and I'm coming in high well
over, and then, you know.
Still losing out.
The realtors, I cast.
Somebody from California just paid cash and came 30% over.
Motherfuckers.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's wild out here.
And they're building out here like crazy, too.
Like, when you get out towards, like, Round Rock and, you know, out in that
area, there's just constant construction.
I'm in Cedar Park.
That's where our headquarters is.
And that used to, if you're in Austin, Cedar Park was, like, the absolute hillbill
north.
And now it's just North Austin.
Yeah.
Just everything is just slowly.
Still so small.
Yeah.
In comparison to L.A., every time I go back to L.A., I'm like, fuck this.
How did I live here?
Yeah.
I'm so much more relaxed here.
I concur.
Unfortunately, we're talking about it again.
We're fucking it up.
Dang it.
You look good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Healthy?
Working out?
Yeah.
Training?
Yeah, a lot.
Yeah.
Grappling?
No.
I'm trying to heal a knee.
I have a knee issue right now.
It's, I was working out and doing some Muay Thai, and I just, even though it
hurts, I still
kick with it.
Yeah.
And then it was starting to swell.
And so now I've been going to Brigham at Ways to Well and getting it shot up.
Dude, he's great.
He's great.
Ways to Well is awesome.
Yeah.
Right now it's good.
Doesn't hurt at all.
So I'm going to give it a couple of months and really do all the knees over
toes stuff
and try to rehabilitate it without getting an MRI because I don't want to know
what's
going on in there.
I just did six months of that program.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And it makes a big difference.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not fun though.
What part's not fun?
It's obviously mobility and you're focusing on circulation in the knee.
So it's not good for the ego.
It's not fun for the ego because the weight that you're doing for the squats in
that style
of squatting to have your knees over your toes is way less than if I was going
to be
a meathead and go and squat.
You know, doing the lunges, it's trying to get that deep, deep forward lunge to
get the
knee all the way of the toe and then all the sled pulls and all the sled pushes
and it's
just like, golly, can I just do some athlete things?
You know, I know it's healing, so I'm going to be a better athlete, but it's
still not fun.
It does change.
It remaps your knee.
It really does.
It changes the structure.
Like, it doesn't feel as loose anymore.
Everything feels like more rigid and strong and secure.
I just, I'm avoiding, I have a, I've had meniscus taken out of this knee and I'm,
I'm worried
about, you know, cartilage damage.
And that's what I'm worried that this, this injury is because it's just, it's
strangely
like sharp and not getting better.
And so I'm hoping that stem cells and peptides.
That'll do it.
That's the combo.
Well, what I'm really, yeah, it'll, I'm hoping that'll do it, but I just have
to not
be a meathead.
This is what I do.
I get the stem cells.
I feel pretty good after four weeks, start crushing the bag again.
And then, you know, I kind of aggravate it one more time.
Yep.
I have a, the, the mats that I'm on right now, a level of killer that I've
never imagined
existing in names that I didn't even know.
And, uh.
Oh, the Donaher death squad.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
With everybody that came here.
The Danher.
And everybody's training at Roka right now.
That's right.
Too, right?
Yeah.
Which is cool.
Shout out to Roka.
Yeah, they, uh, Rob's been really rad.
Three workouts a day on those mats.
That's amazing.
And, um.
So cool.
Yeah.
You know, you have, oh, this, this guy's a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
What's up?
You know, hey, Satoshi.
And, uh, as he mauls me, um, like we're in the cage right here on it.
And Satoshi is just beating me up.
And then Roy McDonald getting ready for this fight, beating me up.
You know, GSP's traveling in.
And then obviously, like, Gordon and the Sean J. Ribeiro team at Six Blades,
not but three miles away.
You have the B team with Craig Jones.
Yep.
So, like, one through 20, the best grapplers on the planet are in Austin.
And, uh.
And the Checkmat guys are here.
Oh, yeah.
Gracie Baja.
He's the only five factory.
Fucking crazy.
Tackett kids.
It's amazing how many good grapplers are here in this town.
All of them.
It's amazing.
A lot of them, yeah.
Yeah, it's amazing.
Eddie Bravo's thinking about coming here, too.
He just doesn't want to, like, overcrowd it because there's already a 10th
planet right here.
But every time he comes, he's like, fuck, I want to come here.
Yeah.
There's room.
I think so, too.
There's fucking two million people.
That's plenty of room.
Yeah.
I mean, give or take 10 miles, you can open a new gym.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so, too.
And there's a lot of spots, you know, especially if you want to head towards
Dripping and, you know, that area.
Yeah, Dripping's open.
I just opened my gym in Cedar Park.
So, you know, there was 10 miles.
Sanjay Ribeiro's the closest, you know, kind of big gym and Six Blades.
And that was on 183.
So he was, you know, it's a 20-minute, 15-minute drive to him.
Nobody's going to...
Right.
Somebody over there is going to pick that gym.
Somebody over here is going to pick this gym.
There's enough for everybody out there.
There's enough for everybody.
Tell me what you're doing with Sheepdog.
Like, what is your Sheepdog response courses?
What are those?
The, in light of everything that's been happening, I mean, I've been screaming
from every building I can get on that, you know, we need to prepare America for
what is happening now.
And so Sheepdog response, like the company mission statement, is to train and
equip people to preserve and protect human life.
With that in mind, we do everything from fighting, shooting, and medical to try
and make sure everybody that comes to those courses, teachers, law enforcement,
all of them get the basic fundamentals of really the things about saving life.
And we have been, I mean, Sheepdog response, we have, I think, 180 or 210
courses this year.
And if you go to the website right now, it's like, sold out, sold out.
So, like, I can't, I'm not going to lower the quality of training because
everybody needs to know the right things.
As we look at Uvalde and the lack of training and the response and the broken
systems and all the things that went wrong in there, you know, I'm like, God,
why, you know, like, I literally teach every single day what the answer is to
all of this.
And, you know, you can only train so many people in a year.
I think it's, it's, you definitely can only train so many people in a year.
And it's also taking a long time for people to come to grips with the only
solution is like you have to be able to protect yourself.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, there's, that's the responsive reactive side of it, which is
really important.
You know, we have to make our schools hard targets.
We have to get individually, individuals to be responsible and be able to
protect themselves.
Like our, our basic entry course for teachers and for everyone is called
protector.
It's protector one course.
And we shoot, we fight, um, how to keep blood in the body, you know, like tourniquets,
um, packing wounds.
And then the biggest part of situational awareness.
And that's all preventative actions, um, where I see something that could be
going wrong.
Uh, but I'd, I'd prefer to go upstream to the root cause of what is causing
some of this violence, you know, mental health and these broken young men.
Um, and, and, and try to fix the individual.
So we don't, we have to do all these things with our schools.
You know, I, I have been writing nonstop since, since these last shootings have
been happening, you know, and like the four D's about how to make a school a
hard target.
Um, what are the four D's?
Oh, you have detection, um, denial entry.
You have deterrence and then you actually have defend.
So of those things, identifying what a problem is and, uh, you know, trying to
deter from the outside limited entry, um, you know, how our, our headquarters
are set up.
It's difficult to get in here.
It doesn't look like a place I want to try and get in the, you know, the, the
bushes are the landscaping's in a way where I'm not going to have access to the
windows.
You know, like there's in my building, when you come to the front door and you
get let in, you're in a, a kill box.
You know, you, you get led into a lobby and in that lobby, you can't get past
the lobby.
And in the lobby, there's somebody that will let you into the next room and, uh,
you're stuck there.
And unless somebody lets you in, you know, the defend is obviously, uh, the
last course of action where teachers or law enforcement, um, are going to be
protecting their kids.
There's lots of different solutions to that.
They have cameras that can have pepper balls in them.
Um, you know, lasers that can blind people.
But ultimately it's the individual that has to be trained to be able to protect
those children.
And in that like preventative model of going upstream to fix the problem, we
could concurrently, we can do two things at once, right?
Like we can make our school harder targets and we can train teachers and we can
get law enforcement to respond correctly while we start talking really about
what is causing these young men to be broken.
So what do you think we can do about that?
Because that, without that, you know, people think guns are the problem.
And this is the narrative that we keep hearing.
We need gun control.
But there's more guns than there are people.
So it's not necessarily a gun problem because the vast majority of people, the
vast, vast, vast majority would never fucking do anything like this.
It's a very, very, very, very small amount of people that are deranged and
broken and would do something like this.
So how do we address that?
That is the issue.
It's a mental health issue.
Yeah, but it's a bunch of things that nobody wants to talk about.
You know, w
