- The Joe Rogan experience.
- There's something to that.
And there's something, again, from a guy who,
you know, for 40 plus years of my life,
didn't eat wild game and then I eat it all the time.
- Right.
- It's different, it's different.
- I get beat up for this too because I guess, you know,
vegans can say whatever they want about hunters
and it's good to go.
I put up, I remember I put up one thing about a vegan,
I can't remember what it was.
It's like some, it's their diet and it's like,
they went from this healthy person to looking pretty sickly.
- Oh, there's a lot of those.
- It's kind of a meme joke thing.
And I'm just like, oh no, actually God.
And this is, I'm probably stepping in.
I know you can't get canceled, but maybe I can.
But I put up something about Canelo.
- Yes.
- 'Cause I guess he went vegan.
- Yeah, he went vegan for his last fight.
- And all I put up was, that worked well.
- Yeah, I reposted it.
I reposted it in my Instagram stories.
- I got so much hate for that, you know?
And it's like, we get crucified for being, you know,
killers and meat eaters and all this.
I put up one joke meme about Canelo who looked awful
compared to how he, and the one thing that changed
was his diet.
And then all of a sudden I'm the bad guy.
But anyway.
- Well, there's two things going on there.
One, Bivol is a real legit light heavyweight.
And that's only the second light heavyweight
that Canelo had fought.
The first one was Kovalev, but Kovalev was at the end
of his career, Kovalev had lost a bunch of times.
He'd been stopped and he wasn't the same guy as he was
like when he fought Andre Ward the first time.
But Kovalev when he was the man, when he was a light
heavyweight champion was a real savage.
And he was winning that fight with Canelo too, by the way.
There's a reason why there's weight classes.
And Canelo fought Floyd Mayweather.
I believe he fought him at 152 pounds,
which is the lightest he's ever fought.
Generally, he would fight at 152, 54.
And then he moved up, fought middleweight.
And that's where he fought Gernadi, I think he fought
Triple G, Gernadi Golovkin.
I think he fought him at 60 or it might've been
super middleweight.
Find out if that's, so then there's a jump, man.
And the, I think it was 160 at Golovkin was
the middleweight champion.
And so that 15 pound jump is giant.
- But you, so you want to go up in weight
and quit eating meat?
Let's see what it says here.
60, yeah, okay.
So that was the, they fought three, twice.
They were supposed to fight a third time,
but it looks like he's gonna have a rematch
with B-Vol instead.
- But if you're gonna go up.
- Yeah, you don't, well, it's like he,
he watched that documentary on Netflix, Game Changers.
And there's a lot of, you know, look,
if you want to eat only vegan and you want to do it
for ethical reasons and you don't want to be involved
in animal death, I get it.
You don't want to be involved in factory farming, I get it.
But it's not true when you say that it gives you a
significant athletic performance boost.
It doesn't.
There's no real proof of that.
And they fucked with some reality when they made that.
They did, there's no real elite professional athletes
at the highest level that I'm aware of that are vegan.
I don't, I don't think it has the same bioavailability
as animal protein and this is coming from nutritionists
that are unbiased and objective.
Not coming from guys like, you know, the carnivore MD,
Paul Saladino, guys who like are proselytizing
to eat carnivorously.
This is just from like regular scientists.
They'll tell you like, you can get as much protein
from X amount of broccoli as you can from a steak.
The problem is it's not the same kind of protein.
It's not as bioavailable and if, okay, so surviving is one thing.
Right, thriving.
Performing or thriving is a whole nother thing.
Yeah.
You can eat a lot of shit and just get by and not die.
That's the real question.
But are you trying to be optimum performance at whatever you do?
I was a vegetarian for six months.
Did I ever tell you that when I was fighting?
Because I was having a really hard time making weight and I wound,
I was, I was, you know, I was competing when I was 17.
I won the state championship at 140 pounds.
And the next weight class was 154.
And I was struggling at one.
I couldn't really get, I wasn't 140.
I was like 153, 154.
And I would dehydrate the shit out of myself, make the weight.
And then I have to fight on the same day.
It was not good.
And I was fighting, I didn't, I won, but I felt like shit.
I was like, I could have fucked those guys up if I was like,
if I felt my best.
Strong, right.
And then I did it for a while to try to lean out,
but I was just tired all the time.
Yeah.
And I know I probably wasn't doing it right.
And I've never done it right where, you know,
you eat pea protein and you make sure you balance your macros and have someone.
But when I went, when I started eating meat, that's when I became at my best.
When I went on my, my best performance run as a competitor,
it was all eating meat.
And that's mostly what I ate was meat.
Right.
Well, I felt a lot different.
And that was the only example that I've ever had.
Cause it's the only stretch of my life when I was competing and a very intense
thing.
And I did eat, I ate nothing but vegetables for like a good six months months.
That's a long time.
It was a long time.
I tried as long cause I had, my instructor was very tall and we were from the
same weight class,
you know, 140, it might've been 147, whatever it was.
I forget what the weight class was, but it was in the forties.
And then he was like six, three, six, two, six, three.
And he was in the same way class as me when he was younger and was competing.
So I was like brainwashed to think like, I'm too short for this fucking weight
class.
I got to start myself.
But it's just body types.
And then did you see Usman at the last fight with his red leather jacket, no
shirt?
It's like baller.
Frit.
Well, he's like, you know, if you want to make some, make some noise and get
some attention.
That's how you do it.
Well, he's trying to get that Canelo fight.
I know.
He's got big, big money and maybe Canelo will fight him.
Just keep him on salads.
The ball fight.
Keep him on salads.
He's got a pretty good shot.
Keep him on salads.
Yeah.
I wonder if he'll change his diet.
Because they were actually talking about that in the broadcast.
They were saying he seems a little lackadaisical.
Yeah.
A little lackluster.
I wonder if it's his diet.
I don't know.
Yeah, after the fight, we were talking about the diet.
It's like, I don't know, you know.
I know.
It's like, I never want to say that it won't work for you because there's
people out there
that I know that are vegan that thrive and they don't have any problem with it.
But I don't know how they would do if they ate meat.
I mean, maybe they're just fucking unbelievably savage and if they ate meat,
they'd be even better.
But if you give them vegetables, they'd still kill it.
His quote on it says that sometimes he eats meat still.
Oh, I'm not very complicated when it comes to food.
I adapt a lot.
I adapt quickly.
Canelo told ESPN, it's not something I did all of a sudden that I left what I
ate before
from one day to the next.
All week I try to eat what is vegan and if one day I eat something else, meat,
chicken,
whatever, I eat it, there is no problem.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Yeah, I don't know what that means really, but that's what he said in response
to that.
But that's not, if you are an athlete that is eating for performance.
Like say if you went to- See, that's the opposite of me.
I eat meat all the time.
Yeah, if you went to a Mike Dolce or a George Lockhart or one of those guys,
that is not how
they would tell you to eat.
They would prescribe a specific amount of protein.
Yeah.
Specific amount of carbohydrates based on your weight.
Right.
I'm not saying like sometimes I eat this and sometimes I eat that.
I think what's going on is Canelo is so fucking good.
Yeah.
That he can get away with eating squash and tomatoes and still fuck you up
because he's
so goddamn good.
He's been amazing.
He's amazing.
And just the fact that he went all the way up to 75, fought Bival, went to the
decision,
you know, lost the decision but was never in like real trouble.
Yeah.
Was never like rocked or dropped or anything like that and he's fighting two
weight classes
above his natural weight class.
It's kind of crazy.
Yeah, it is.
He's an amazing fighter.
He's amazing.
He's one of the greatest of all time which is why he's willing to take that
chance and go
up to 175 pounds.
But in my mind, if you're an athlete, especially if you're in a combat sport,
you need to have
everything dialed in.
Your recovery.
You need to be doing a sauna every day, ice bath.
You need to be eating all the right food, drinking all the white water.
They should hydration test you every day.
You got hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
I know.
That's Canelo Alvarez.
I know.
You shouldn't be eating fucking plants.
What the fuck are you doing, bro?
You're eating celery?
We gotta get a steak in you.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I was saying is like his approach where he'll eat, you know,
greens and salads
most of the time and every once in a while have meat.
I do all meat and every once in a while have a salad.
You know when Mike Tyson was in here, he was thanking me for turning him on to
Wild Game.
Really?
Yes.
He's been getting Wild Game?
Yes.
Well, I offered to get him some elk, but I never got it to him.
We never connected after that.
Oh, okay.
He went to somewhere and got a lot of bison.
Oh.
He was eating a lot of bison before he started training again.
He's like, "Oh my God, it made such a difference."
Mm-hmm.
He thanked me during the last podcast, returning on, because I'm always talking
about Wild Game.
Yeah.
And he's like, "It made a big difference.
That's what I eat now is Wild Game."
So, if Mike Tyson says that, I'd fucking listen.
